1931 model 43 upholstery material

Dennis,
When we visited the AACA library during the PAS tour at the Lancaster National meeting, they had on display for us a few dealer sample fabric books.  I suggest you contact them.  The library is the depository of all the society’s Pierce literature.

I would be very careful about dealing with SMS. They supposedely have a mill that weaves to custom orders. May be alright if you don’t mind spending a couple years without communication on your prepaid order. I felt lucky to get a refund after months waiting for material that they originally said was in stock, then after weeks of getting the run around said they had to make it.

They may be the only game in town at this point for anything besides plain broadcloths. Review the BBB complaints before ordering.

It is too bad that you guys (Jim & Bob) had bad experiences with SMS.

I didn’t know any better, and waiting for 6-months to a year was no big deal at the stage I  was in at refurbishing my 1925 Series 80, 7-Passenger DeLuxe Sedan.

I had many mechanical matters to attend to, and the upholstery was #6 on my list.

I was just happy to receive the fabric and then have my upholstery Gent (Petter D.) install it on the front and rear seats.  I have plenty of extra for finishing the project when I decide to have Petter re-cover the interior door panels.
