Title: Vintage wool and mohair needed...1932 Caddy
Post by: NDAV8R on September 17, 2013, 06:51:09 am
Hey Gang:
A friend of mine just a picked a 1932 V12 Cadillac Sedan with 38,000 miles on it, purchased from a museum.
    It is in dire need of restoration, including the top and interior. He says this could be a 3 to 4 year restoration project.
            It appears to be all light grey wool seats side panels and headliner. The lower kick panels on the back side of the front seats are mohair. It also has some horse hair in the seats...eww! I probably won't replace that, unless he restores to original, which I have serious doubts.
My question is: where is a good source for vintage materials including the exterior top material? When and if I take this on...I will post photos.
  Thanks,
Gale.

LeBaron Bonney and Bill Hirsch come to mind. Check Hemmings Motor News for more.
