40 front seat-50k Rouge tudor like new!!
I really was taken aback by the newness of this seat. It was removed for a mat replacement and the condition is astounding to me. Shiny black paint like yesterday. Noticed the coils were wrapped before being hog-tied into the seat frame. Try to get a modern upholster to do this job today? How did this tudor survive? History is lost. Photos Newc

That OEM seat find is amazing. That's the way we did my 40 front seat in 1988 after my wife made brand new burlap coil bags. Wish I had taken a photo of the newly bagged bottom".

That seat is a recover! You may not want to hear that but the original seat covers were hemmed where they tack to the base. Very pretty. Good Luck: Fred A
P.S. Hemmed is not exactly right, but bound with tape around the bottom edge where it is tacked. Probably part of mass production. Last edited by Fred A; 01-14-2021 at 08:58 PM. Reason: Correction |

I recently bought split back coupe seat for my 40 and when the upholsterer took the seat apart to recover it was the same way, all the springs wrapped, shiny black frame and hardware. He said best 40 seat he'd seen in a long time.
