Vintage Automotive Cloth Material

Hey guys...

Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to get OEM cloth material for late 50's cars through the mid 60's. I have looked into SMS Auto Fabrics as well as Ciabella's in AZ. Ideally I would like to have the "cloud-like" pattern cloth used in some 57 Chevy's but can't afford the $50/ yard because I need 8 yards.

Thanks for the help! I know nice things come with a price but maybe someone on here has a roll for some reason they would like to sell.

 

Like this or similar...

 

You'd probably be best off going to a furniture/upholstery repair shop. Or, just take what you can get in the aftermarket..

 

I hate to say it...but most big suppliers are gonna charge $50 or more for original type cloth. You may try hitting up a trim shop that's been in business for years as they may have old stock they just want to get rid of.

My advice would be to source something close to a vintage look from a supplier like Miami Rubber or even Jo Ann fabrics and Hobby Lobby (they have alot of funky design cloth...just walk around and look).

 

Thanks a ton...I'll look into it. I'll be posting pictures of my progress!

 

Try calling ABC auto upholstery in pa .

 

Try J&J in Riverside...best in SoCal!
