High quality Swiss made A - Bodies

Fascinating.


Is that cloth seat fabric original?

Interesting that overseas folks appreciated that where the US mainland seemed to be content with hot (and sweaty) in the summer and cold (to the point of cracking) in the winter vinyl.

You see very few cloth interiors in US cars until the mid 1980's when there was an explosion of velour.

Those exit grips are interesting as well. Fully how just those and the cloth give it a Euro feel.

Yes, because the Swiss cars had different bucket seats by the now well known company RECARO.
These were sport buckets with headrests, completely different to the US stratobuckets.
