It's really what you would like to sit on. I personally would prefer not to mix vinyl with leather. For comfort what I did was redo my seats with vinyl and corduroy inserts. It looks good, comfortable to sit on and works for me. Just an option to consider.

Thanks for all the thoughts.
This car seems to be matching numbers, so I decided to go with German vinyl covers to keep the car in its original configuration.
EDIT actually ended up doing leather, and very glad I did!

Hi Paul, do you have pics of existing covers?

Here are pics from the previous owner. The car also came with a set of replacement covers, but they weren't in perfect shape either.

Pretty good looking original covers if you ask me!

I think they look great for 52 year old covers, but the rest of the car looks 100 times better.
