long live vinyl
Here in central Utah, it cost me $200 for vinyl. Yep, cold in winter and hot in summer, but cleans well and looks period. The same guy did my headliner and visors for $250, which inlcuded gluing in blocks to sew to, since the old cardboard uses the little clips. I'm no purist, and I don't miss the non-cleanable surfaces at all. Maybe my upholsterer worked too cheap, he recently closed his shop and went to work on an oil rig.

I paid $325 for a pretty complete re-do with padding fixes and some repaired springs. I went with a fabric. I know, not period. The correct original vinyl or what ever it was, was crap from the get go. Fell apart by 69 or 70 as I recall. For that reason, I feel no duty to try and re-create original in this one instance.
Modern fabrics are tremendously durable and treated so that they don't hold stains nearly as bad as old fabrics did.
Just my opinions. Place I used in KC was Gladstone Auto Trim. Looks good.....

It generally depends on where you are, what type of upholstery you want, and what kind of vehicle you have.
