Looking to get some input:
I have a Dec 52 Azure blue zwitter and its going to be time to redo the interior. I restored it 30 years ago using a herringbone style cloth I found but its starting to fall apart.
I've read up on a few fabrics available along with going vinyl (54-55 style).
So who are the sources for close to original herringbone cloth and was vinyl used in these cars and what color?
Thanks!

Read this, it's long but shows the work that beetlekey put into getting the correct fabric made.

I had him make the interior for my car, and cannot wait to see it installed.
