1937 standard interior
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. |

Re: 1937 standard interior
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. Last edited by swoopNZ; 03-21-2018 at 09:07 PM. |

Re: 1937 standard interior
It's hard to tell from the photo, I believe you have Broadcloth there.

Re: 1937 standard interior
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. Last edited by TonyM; 03-23-2018 at 02:07 PM. |

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.

Re: 1937 standard interior
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.

Re: 1937 standard interior
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.

Re: 1937 standard interior
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. |
