Red Plaid Seats?, Was it a rare option? Options

[Sleepin]

My '75 has plaid seats I think they are fairly cool, but am unsure if I want to get them reupholstered back to plaid, or just go with black. Can anyone give me a little history lesson?

Contributing to the cause! Just sent a swatch of the # 45 Bright Red Plaid with
Green Accent to SMS today, so they can do an exact color match on the yarn.
They already had the weave from a sample of the yellow provided by someone
earlier. Depending on how much demand they have initially, it should make a
difference in the price. Should be ~ $100 yard. Not sure how much each seat
needs, but probably 2-3 yards should do. I will find out from the guy that I use
for upholstery work and let all know. As soon as I have more details I will keep everyone posted. If we can find someone willing to give up a piece of the # 81
Grey, between the three color, that should cover almost half of the possible combinations! This could be a good long term source on the material.

With the new seats, I might be sufficiently motivated to put a new coat of black paint on the car..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
