1956 300c Convertible D Restoration Page 2
Upholstery
The original leather seat covers had dried out and started two crack.
Fortunately we had access to a factory leather sample book to match up the new
leather. The new piece on the left lacked the proper grain but the piece
on the right is very close. Number 1079 is the upholstery color
designation for this car. The large rectangular sample at the top of the
page just happened to be 1079.
the finished driver's seat
In this vintage of seat no foam rubber was used, just natural materials.
So that is what we did here as well. Cotton was used for the padding.
