1937 standard interior
 

1 Attachment(s)
Im starting to work on the interior on my 37 tudor standard touring. I understand there were only two different selections available. Two-tone Taupe Mohair and A Bark Cord. Attached is a picture of what I have. Im thinking its the Mohair? But my looking for some input. Also where would someone find this kind of material? Lebaron Bonney only lists Brown Wool Broadcloth 15-5, that looks to be a close match to the A-Bark Cord.
Thanks for any help one can provide.

Take a sample of yours into a car upholstery shop.
They should have a better match for you.
It actually looks pretty close to the 1938 standard broadcloth M-16552-B trim.
Ask Le Baron Bonney for their current sample of that particular cloth.

It's hard to tell from the photo, I believe you have Broadcloth there.

That is what it looks like.

Thanks for the help. Does anyone have pictures of the interior of a 37 standard? I sure would appreciate some visual guidance.

The upholstery pictured is not Mohair.

The EFV-8 Club's 1937 book might have a photo or two of the standard interior.

Here are two photos of my original, unrestored 1937 Ford Deluxe Mohair interior when I first purchased the car. Has been cleaned up since then. Hope this helps. Hoping the photos are ok. I have better pics at home.

There are photos of the 1937 Ford Standard Tudor interior in the EFV-8 1937 Ford book on page 3-4 (chapter 3, page 4). The interior Upholstery Materials can be found on Color Pages CP-2.

Not mohair nor broadcloth, but rather a cord. If you want a match beyond what LeBaron Bonney has on hand there are numerous fabric suppliers with a wide selection of cords from which you can choose a match from and then furnish the yardage to LeB/B or whomever else will be doing the upholstery work. While all of my upholstery work has been done by LeB/B, nearly half of those jobs has been accomplished with material purchased elsewhere.

Thanks guys, Hey David would you share some of the other fabric suppliers? I google searched and could not find any that had cord fabric.

Google SMS in Portland, Oregon.

LeBaron Bonney list about fifteen different Bedford cord materials in their fabric catalogue. Bill Hirsch offers over thirty different Bedford cords in their on-line catalog.

As for SMS, in my experience their response time is very poor. I waited nearly a year for a response for a match of some not-very-extraordinary vinyl that I needed and when it finally came, they wanted over $200 a yard for it. You would have thought that I wanted some leather from an endangered species of animal.
