    Anybody have a good source for 50's era fabrics? I'm re-doing the interior in my 50 chev rag.The pictures is what's in it now-too much red!! I'm going with a black carpet and the seats are going to have a 6" red vinyl border with fabric inserts. My jaw dropped at the prices some of the suppliers want up here, plus I haven't found the perfect pattern yet. I'm not going to be a cheap *** on the fabric I just want to find a pattern that's "it"

    Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    X2 on SMS but you will get a serious case of sticker shock.

    If you don't want the best or the most original, don't call SMS.

    www.hamptoncoach.com is where I purchased a complete OEM interior for my '46 Olds. Very happy. Not cheap by the time I had delivered down under.
