(42002 mi) Seat Covers to cover the Seats.

 Re-Upholster OR Cover it Over?  If you are short on cash and can patiently examine eBay week after week, you can buy an original MoPAR Seat Cover.  As it so happens, that is what I did.


On May 2nd, 1951, Donald Motors of Tryon, North Carolina ordered my Seat Covers (Part No. 1315 347).  Obviously, they never reached the intended automobile, because 60 years later they covered the seats in my 1951 Chrysler.  Unfortunately, these seat covers are not actually designed for my particular car, but (without changing them a stitch) I have made good use of them.  The original upholstery is sadly advanced in its deterioration.  I have one last recourse in getting the right upholstery for the car.  I will have the fabric re-made... in the future.  When I have the money... maybe.
