The Ford Barn

I just bought a 1931 Model A. I didn't want a show car all, but instead a solid driver, and I am getting exactly that. The one problem for me is that the entire interior looks to be that original grey color, but then the seats are brown, torn, and well abused.

I want to get them covered, but am not sure what to do. I don't need anything fancy. I just hate brown, especially since nothing else is brown. Should I do a grey cloth seat, and if so, what covers would look right? My upholstery guy suggested doing good quality black vinyl since the car and wheels are black, and since it's impossible to match the rest of the interior.

Anyways, I'm at a loss. I wish I could just find some original grey seats. Thoughts? Black? Grey? Vinyl? Cloth? Suggestions?

Thank you,
Mike
