Default Interior Question

We are about ready to need to order a interior for the
1931 Coupe project. With L&B now gone.... what is your
experience with the two current interior manufacturers?
Looking for real nice stuff if possible.
Thank you

Gil. NoCal

Unless you do it yourself or hire it done in a custom shop, Classtique is the best answer.

Classtique has the same materials that were in Lebaron Bonney's kits. Also, Mike is good to work with; excellent customer support. Elizabeth has some excellent videos on You Tube, so you can see Classtique in action. Her instruction about installing headliners is especially good. I have a Classtique kit in my Victoria, so I speak from a good experience.

Maybe that is kinda misleading in the wording. So that everyone knows, Cartouche/Eklers is the one that is providing most of the piece goods material that all of us are using who are manufacturing interiors for Model-As. When L/B could not pay their bills to the mills, Eklers stepped up and kept the certain fabrics we use going. That was huge.

As Bob stated, you won't go wrong using Mike. Others produce a very similar kit.

Good top know. I have L-B in my car. I'm glad there is another supplier that offers that same material. The other material just seems like a burlap bag to me, and I don't care how much cheaper it is...
