Does anyone know of a good source for authentic seat covers for a 1966 Eldorado? I need dark green front and rear.
Thanks

Have you tried SMS Fabrics in Oregon? They are a great resource

Also look into:

Jenkins Restorations & Interiors
102 Chestnut Street, Suite 101
North Wilkesboro, NC 28659
336-667-4282           

They will fabricate the seat covers and ship them to you.  When I last checked, they could still get perforated leather that was similar to the original 1966. 

Good luck,

Thanks for the responses. SMS is sending me samples of what they have. I called and left a message for the folks at Jenkins (I couldn't find an email address for them). I also discovered CPR For Your Car in Hemmings and have a request into them for help.

This forum is very helpful!

George,
Thanks for the advice. I received the swatch samples from SMS today. The color match is excellent. The pattern match is very close. I'd give it a grade of A-. Good enough for my project. I'm placing the order tomorrow.

I ordered a swatch of the perforated leather in Medium Red from SMS, and it looks good. 

Have you found an upholsterer who can match the original pattern?
