LB charged my credit card for the material March 5 and never shipped. I still need the stuff.

For what it's worth, I called Cartouche this AM. I had a long conversation with a man named Dave.
He was aware of LeBaron Bonney's bankruptcy.
He said they are gearing up for increased business.
I inquired about kits for my current projects, a '34 Victoria and '34 2 Dr sedan.
He told me they do not have patterns for the Victoria but can supply complete a complete kit for my 2-Dr sedan.
Since I have some of the kit for my Victoria I asked about materials. He said they buy they material from the same places LeBaron Bonney did and should be able to supply what I need to complete the interior.
He is sending fabric samples and a catalog.
That being said, I have no idea about quality of the materials or quality of the workmanship. That is to be determined.
The price for the complete kit was considerably less than what I paid L/B.
I also paid by credit card but was told by Visa that it is doubtful that I can recover any of my deposits back since the orders were close to a year old.
Think positive, somehow I think someone will be able to fill the void left by the closing of LeBaron Bonney.
