  • Installed "Old Style" Seat Covers on my 52

    Since I am out of money to spend on my 52 Commander and the seats, while better than some, are not very pretty, I found some old aftermarket plaid seat covers that my friend had collected.

    I bought some hog rings at Carlisle and went to an auto upholstry shop who had done some work for me before and he sold me some hog ring pliers for $5.00. I went home and went to work.



    This is what the seats looked like before I covered them.



    This is what they looked like after.



    The hog rings hold the seat covers on.



    It is interesting that these seat covers were made in Richmond, VA where I live.



    This is a tag that I found on the seat spring.

            My company actually has that old style fabric, but never got a order for it.

                Nice job, Leonard []. They actually look better than what Studebaker put on.

                    Some of us take the road less traveled!

                    Thanks for your comments Randy and Dick.

                        Looking good, Leonard.

                        Shows what can be done by a frugal, determined Stude man.

                        See you in South Bend.
