Default Galaxie upholstery

I have a survivor 62 Galaxie with great original upholstery, however the original owner replaced the original vinyl front seats inserts with cloth. I’m trying to find the company that makes the reproduction upholstery, or a reputable company that can provide what I need. A company called Pro Fit advertises what I need but has mixed reviews. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not the speediest but the new door cards and rear armrest covers for my '54 look original. They also had seat material that matched what the car came with from the factory.

If they aren't embossed with special design vinyl, then a person just needs to look for the color match in a new production vinyl. It's pretty general to sew in pleats like that back seat has. If the cover is still good then the inserts can be cut out and replaced just like they were with the cloth inserts. SMS specializes in older design materials and especially the design embossed type vinyls used in the 50s & 60s. If they have it in stock then a person can get it pretty easy but if it's out of stock then it may take a very long time to get. They reproduce stuff that is popular before reproducing slow moving stuff. You can't just make a small roll of fabric. Once the machines are rolling, they make a big roll.

Distinctive Industries offers seat upholstery for the 62 Galaxie. There may be others. I'll never regret purchasing a used Consew 206RB3 walking foot machine. I do my own stuff.

This link looks like Distinctive's stuff: https://www.profitautointeriors.com/...yDFTW3dM8JnRTY
