Hey H. L. Chauvin, I believe you may be giving the techs at LeBaron-Bonney more credit than they deserve. I recently conferred with them about seat covers for my 1930 coupe and they knew nothing more than I did. Quote from their person knowledgeable in these matters, "I have spoken with a few of our production staff and the consensus is that it is not feasible to try making a cover that would work because of the frame and the need to staple. There would not be a way to secure it properly without the possibility of damaging the upholstery you are trying to protect. With that said, my personal opinion is that if you were to bring the car to a local shop, they may be able to come up with something fitted to your car that would work for you." So, you can call them but don't expect an epiphany. I think all the old timers who used to work there are gone and the current staff is in OJT mode.
