356 C interior upholstery
I am looking to replace the seat upholstery for my 356C. Is there a specific company that sells quality replacements that I can take to an upholstery shop to install?

+1 on Autos. I would make sure that the shop you use knows about the pleat and how to properly do it.

Rod: You can take the seats out, take them apart easily, box them and ship them to AI. I did that with my C and it was straight forward. AI does it right.

Re: 356 C interior upholstery
+1 on autos but ask for the seat covers without the sewn in pleat. Wish I had. Have the upholsterer add that the correct way as stated above.

Tony at Heritage is building my 356C interior in leather. I stopped in to his shop in Palm Springs to check on the progress last week. Beautiful work. I'm very pleased so far. It will look even better after a final steaming.
