I had mine made custom for me at the upholsterer ('63 Bonneville, bench seat). Definitely higher cost than premade covers from PUI or Legendary, but no wait (except for normal scheduling).

Thanks, and yes, the leather is soooooo nice. While Tim (my upholsterer) tells me that this leather is finished to more or less resemble the original grain of the GM leather of the time, the feel is...

I looked thrugh my material, James, and I can't come up with either a separate listing for it or any specific reference. I'm thinking now that it might have been included with the power brake option...

Thanks!

My original leather was looking very sad. The back seat wasn't in bad shape at all, but would have looked mismatched had I not done the whole thing at one time. Oh, and the foam had long...

Got my '63 Bonneville back from the upholstery shop yesterday - a few pics

They did a really nice job. There are a couple things which bug me (a couple pan head screws at the back of the lower seat trim which should be ovals; the driver's seat belt tab side needs to be...

Yeah, I can't imagine (though as I get older, this is something I realize I may have to address, myself).

Just back from the upholsterer... The first thing I did when I opened the door was look at the heel plate (seriously). IMO, this is the correct location.

The trim on the pedals was an option. My '63 Bonneville came without it, though I added the pieces later. (Mine is an auto, so I have two pieces; the emergency brake does not get trim.)

Ack... I should have remembered that disclaimer. Well, it was a thought. I'll keep your situation in mind. Maybe something useful will fall out of my head.
