Ever seen a hotrod made of Leather??

This is Sybo's ( a very very good upholstery guy in Sweden) 29 Phaeton made in leather.... Any toughts or what do you think o it??

 

Interesting...in the early days, speedsters were made from wood skeleton and canvas.

 

Now, Thats what I call Different.

 

Now THAT is cool.... Great stitchwork & those seats!

 

what does the interior look like? any pic's?

 

Will get som interior pics

 

I like it.

 

Holy Cow!

 

I like it except for the skulls.

 

Although most will think the flames and skulls together are a trendy thing, it is cool and different. Im glad it was built, its good to see atleast one of every type of vehicle customized to there own liking.

I mean the skulls have a dark vibe to them which i dig.

 

What if it shrinks?

I saw a '27 Volvo, their first year of production, at the International Auto Show in NY a couple of weeks back. It was covered in leather, except for the cowl. That's the way they made 'em back in the day in the old (and cold) country. So this is nothing new.

that guy has a lot of time................................

 

Rob Halford would love this car!

 

Not my cup of tea, but still interesting.

 

sounds kind of kinky...

 

Looks to be pretty sharp and well done. The skulls are stupid and unnecessary, but the leatherwork looks to be top notch. Conditioning that has got to be a bitch though.

 

Anybody remember the cow hide covered model A? A RPU I think. Complete with the brown and white spotted hair. I didn't like it either.

 

Old Deusenbergs and such had lacquer treated fabric bodies, so why not leather? Do a search for Weymann Coachwork.

 

Amazing craftsmanship...but ugly.

 

I like it....excellent leather work...skulls on the wheels and rear are a little much...but overall pretty original...beats the hell outta flat black with red wheels...

 

thats very cool...i like the skulls...sweet.

 

The guy has no imagination. Black! Everyone does black hot rods.

 

Yeah Tommy, I remember the "Comanche" I beleive they called it. I saw it at the first car show I ever went to as a kid. Covered in pleated unborn calves skin. Kinda odd but in a weird way I liked it. Wouldn't have to do much body work! LOL

 

bring it to the castro in s.f., wear some chaps, you will fit in.

 

I could see the lead singer for Judas Priest cruisin that ride.

 

The guy knows what he's doing that's for sure.
I don't like it.

 

I like that alot with out the excess skulls, but I wouldnt drive it! I like STEEL!

 

Shoulda done it in suede.
