My original interior was Trim No 60 (Lt Gray Bedford Cord & Dk Gray Plain Broadcloth). I'm just curious as to the difference between the Broadcloth and Bedford Cord?

My interior had cadillac replacement seat covers when I got it, so I'm not sure what the difference is. Thank you.

Steve,

The lighter toned Bedford Cord is something like corduroy, with long ridges. That fabric was in the seat cushions and back rest. The darker Broadcloth is a solid uniform fabric and is fairly heavy. That was used in the seat trim and in some places of the door panels.
