All this upholstery talk today reminded me of what it was like when I owned my Custom Auto Upholstery business back in the 80s. The current restoration market is a revival of what was once a thriving business.
Hard to believe I did this complete custom interior on a '56 Caddy resto back then for only $1800. Front and rear seats, door panels, carpet, headliner and visors all custom sewn and installed. Total price including removing all the original stuff and reconditioning and/or replacing trim hardware too...
