  Greetings!

I have been told by SMS that they did not pick up the Cartouche inventory, only that they did make material for Cartouche...and they can not at the moment cross-reference to Cartouche order numbers.

Anybody know if anyone else may have original style material for 46-48 cars?? Specifically seat faces.

Thanks!

  Boy, how much do we all miss Le-Baron Bonney. Over the last year or so there have been numerous discussions on antique car interiors on this and several other sites. It would be to your advantage to search them out. We are having a hard time in the National Woodie Club trying to find 66" Cobra Grain roof material and a few articles have been written on the subject in the Woodie Times. More and more people that I know are having their interior done by a local shop with the instructions of "make it look as original as you can". I don't know if you have the 1941-1948 Ford Book from the V-8 Club, but there are excellent examples of the fabric you can take to a shop to see how close of a match they can come up with. Good luck in your search and let us know how you make out.

Somehow an error as snuck in regarding roof covering for wagons. The material you are looking for is "Laudau Grain Deck Material 66" wide (Ford Spec. M-2600-G). Browm for 41 and 42 and black after Nov 1 1946. The cobra grain has a much coarser surface. See page 6-5 of the 41-48 Ford book.

Not that it matters much now as you won't find Landau Grain or Cobra Grain. LB had the Laudau Grain but where did it go when they quit??
