If you are sitting on bare springs, just throw a blanket over the springs. Patio chair cushions could work as well.

I will be somewhat surprised if you find custom made covers for an A.

I bought an industrial sewing machine about 20 years ago from www.sailrite.com that has served me well. Among the projects were upholstery for 3 boats, canvas covers, sails, upholstery and a top for a Model T, and the latest project, seat covers for my Model A. The seat covers are to protect the upholstery from my dogs and general use.

I got some universal seat covers for the rear bench seat in my Toyota Highlander and another for the back seat of my Corolla when I was hauling my grand children to and from school. Can’t remember if they were from Autozone or Target but I’m sure all of the auto stores as well as a Walmart and Costco carry them. They were cheap and worked fine.

You could also use the moving blankets from Harbor Freight that sell for $5 to $7. I bought a bunch of them to use when hauling stuff and to cover Model A parts in my stash.
