1940 Cadillac or LaSalle CCP Interior

[Brad Ipsen CLC #737]

Does anyone have an original interior in either a 1940 Cadillac or LaSalle convertible coupe (40-5267 or 40-6267)?  I am restoring a Cadillac 40-6267 where most of the interior is completely gone so I have no original material to copy.  It does not matter if the interior parts are out of the car or not.  I am looking to get some detail pictures plus some measurement between door panel ribs and panel spacing on the seats.

Brad,
Guess who has some of those items?
Call me.

Thanks Bob.  I now have good patterns for the seats, rear carpet, and rear interior quarter panels.  The only major item I think I need now is the door panel.  I have the covering from a redone one but would still like to find an original.  I am probably still missing some small pieces in the area where the top goes down.  When I am done with these I will not throw anything away.  If anyone would like to copy the originals after I am done I will pass these on to the next person.

Hello Brad

Please hold on to them. I hope your patterns will work for my 1939 5029. My car is disassembled. I'm in the interview process of my restoration. It looks like I will forgo retirement to finish this car. In an old Self-Starter I read that owning a Cadillac was the penalty of leadership. Matt Larson also  reminds me that it is LaSalle number 185 of 185. Thanks
