I agree. Their custom rod interior line was nicely made and priced too, EZ Boy Rod Interiors. They were quickly followed by Cartouche in the Eckler's debacle in a one-two knock-out on V8 interior kits. At least the Model A folks still have one guy making kits for them. I got lucky and found a new in the box from 1996 Cartouche kit for my '40 business coupe about three years ago. Its not as nice as a LB interior but still quite presentable. I had visited the local upholstery shop and just a custom headliner was more than I wound up paying for the old kit. Lots of guys buying old industrial sewing machines these days and giving it a go vs a $10k+ interior.
