Here is my 63 white / saddle leather. I love the color scheme.

13K original miles, but after 60 years the GM leather is basically petrified. This year it's time to put new Al Knoch seat covers on it to bring the seats up to the caliber of the rest of the original interior.

----I know you are saying "petrified" but I'd love to see closer pics as those covers don't look like they should be replaced,,,JMHO! Be a little more expensive, but maybe do another complete set of seats for this jewel , and save these museum pieces???.....Bill S

I fully agree. I have another complete set of 63 seat frames I am taking to Redi-Strip, powder-coating semi-gloss black, then will rebuild to replace these. Not tearing the originals apart!

Bill,
When I read post #7 I thought the same thing …… no, don’t do that!
Original leather seats that look good enough to me.

I love how you think.

Sounds like they will be preserved after all …. on the shelf.
