    Anyone have a swatch of houndstooth seat material?

    I missed out on Larry's run and I'm looking for something close. Does anyone have a swatch I can have, borrow, or buy?

    Thanks,
    Cab

    Larry sold the remaining material to Autos International so you could contact them if your looking to buy some or have your seats redone.

    I've always considered the glass to be half full...that is until I reached middle age and realized that it is actually half empty.

    I can send you a swatch from Larry's run. I've never compared it to original but, others who have say it's very close. Email me or PM me your info.

    Cheers,
    Michael

    You call that close, I guess if your name is Helen Keller.

    Did anyone on this board get these two items from ebay, in the past week or so? They are the 1967 sample cards for the 911 and 912.

    That looks right. I think Helen Kellers favorite color is cordoroy.

    Three swatchs for ref.

    Sorry,, none of this is for sale,, just for your ref..

    The first is original,,, from Eric's ex-stock

    The second is close,,, but made from cotton,,, at little to white,, found it in Germany but still way better in pattern than the american stuff.

    The third was produced oversea's for a PCA member... It's close but has to much overall tan ...

    This should give you a good idea of the weaved pattern..

    Regards, Robert..
