Reply To: Broadcloth

[David Coco]

The original 34/35 Pierce closed cars I’ve seen had a solid color broadcloth, either brown or gray.

That said, a striped material could be had, I’m sure. Jenkins has two nice striped materials available, as used in the 30’s Packards, and one is $80/yard while another is $100/yard.

A complete sedan interior for that size car should run in the $12,000-$15,000 price range. You’ll have $2000 in material, a 34/35 Pierce sedan takes 15-18 yards of material. My figures include taking all seat springs apart, new socks sewn and springs inserted, so everything is new. It does NOT include any chrome or woodgrain on interior pieces. If you need to rechrome interior pieces and have the windowand dash mouldings woodgrained, you could probably add another $8,000-$10,000.
