I have a 67 Fury convertible I revived and just got on the road. The seats are trashed, but not in the budget to have them recovered yet. So I bought a set of cheap Amazon seat covers.
They don’t look too bad for now. But it is a temporary solution.
The original seat covering is vinyl. And to be honest that all I’ve ever seen in every slab side Fury.
Was there a cloth option?
More importantly are cloth seats a good idea for a convertible?
I figure vinyl is probably better if they happen to get wet, easy to dry off.
But I’m thinking how hot they get sitting in the sun and you hop in the car wearing shorts. I’m having flashbacks of my childhood and my parents 71 Lemans with vinyl seats. Ouch!
I’m going to have my seats recovered over the winter. Originally I was thinking factory original vinyl or something similar. But now I’m thinking maybe cloth. Maybe some kind of tweed or material that wears well. I’m not concerned with originality.
Am I crazy? Thoughts?
