Seat covers for 48 Ford
Back in the day dealers would put seat cover over the seats. These were solid vinyl on top of back and front of seat with a woven vinyl in between. Can you get these anywhere?

Re: Seat covers for 48 Ford
I agree with Vic, I found a set for my 39 ford on eBay. The box said western auto I think. They were nos. didn't fit perfect but really well for being a supplier brand. I would check on there often as they do seem to pop up from time to time. I paid 125.00 for mine.

Re: Seat covers for 48 Ford
Quote:
The covers that Vanspeed found are NORS. That is, made for the after-market by a company other than one that supplied Ford. Thus, one would expect that these would not have the exacting specifications Ford would have required of their covers and the fit would be somewhat lacking when compared to NOS. I have attached two photographs, one is depicting Ford (OEM / NOS) covers. The other? Firestone (aftermarket / NORS)

Re: Seat covers for 48 Ford
They make new seat covers , but they don't look old. Check e-Bay and see what is offered.

Re: Seat covers for 48 Ford
My seat covers were red with a plaid insert. They were NORS as stated above. There was no rot, and in the sun the shape and feel came back. I drove it for over 4 years with them and they still looked and felt new.

Re: Seat covers for 48 Ford
That has been my experience with both NOS and NORS covers. Not 100% certain what they made them out of, but man, they sure do hold up!

Re: Seat covers for 48 Ford
Kube, are they hard to install? I bought a set but have not tried to install them yet. Just wondering if there are any secrets to it?
Thanks, Danny |
