Thanks for the pics
The console is made by 'Classic Consoles' and is available from several online sellers. You would want the 'shorty' sized one if you have a stick shift that touches the bench seat in 2nd or 4th gear.

That looks great! I have acquired a split bench out of a 62 Fairlane 2 Door hardtop. It will replace the awful mid 90s Blazer seats. I’ll post before and after next month!

Here's what I paid to have my seat reupholstered in 1977. That seat was used in my 54 until 2016 when I bought 1954 NOS material to redo the seat.
I thought I had the bill, like you, saved somewhere but all I could find was my cancelled check.

The wool looks rich and beautiful, but that would make me itch like crazy. I would have Cotisone clothing custom made to drive in it.

Regards, Mark

nope this is actually a broadcloth of high quality so it’s soft, hard wearing and is cool in the summer, which is one reason why I got it, and warm in the cooler season. And because I sourced it directly from a historic woolen mill in England it was slightly less cost as buying a lesser quality wool from Macs.

I believe model A’s and T’s use wool interiors?
