    How many remember when Finger Hut made the Original seat covers in 1963?

    Will I picked up a Original seat covers for my 1961 Chevy Biscayne, still in the box in excellent condition with all the paper work by Finger Hut in 1963. I will take a picture first thing in the morning. Quit honest the seat covers should be in a museum.

    My dad ran his own trim shop in the 60's and new car customers were always wanting to put clear plastic over the originals. Dad told them the heat and moisture would ruin the originals if left out in the weather. They knew better. He ordered many from Fingerhut. Talking about burning your butt on a hot day.
