Default Upholstery time

Time for upholstery in the 32 roadster. I did a google search for 32 Ford Roadster upholstery. Even threw in the word original. All I got was pics of super custom stuff. I would like to have a couple of good photos of a stock original type 32 Ford Roadster upholstery to give to a guy that may be doing it.

Have you looked in the V-8 Clubs 1932 Restoration Book? There is a Chapter 15 devoted to Interior Details.

The wood piece behind the seat, is it exposed or does the upholstery attach there.

If you are interested in originality, the color of the upholstery and the pleating of the bottom cushion in petehoovie's photos are a mile off the mark.

I have not been able to find original on the net. It always goes to the show car type. If you have pics you email me at [email protected]
