Oh man, David is so right.

If you’re going to spend that kind of money, please… even spend a few extra bucks to get the job done in period materials. Cotton, horsehair, whatever was correct at the time.

So often I see a car I like, apparently nicely restored, but the guy used a wrong material or stuffed the seats with foam.

Foam just looks bad. Not only does it feel all wrong, but even without touching it, you know it’s wrong.

But being a Pierce Arrow man, I trust that you do have good taste and will only do the job right. I’ve just been hugely disappointed too many times by poor restorations of otherwise desirable cars.
