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?

The samples are shown below, and having seen a sample first hand, I can tell you
the work is outstanding. SMS got the material correct. The color, weight, and weave are
all true to the original. This is Auto Upholstery material, that even has a
coating applied to the back, just like current production. It is my expectation, that
the colorfastness will be much better than the original, so those bright colors will
last for a long time.

Currently, SMS Auto Fabrics has the # 45 Bright Red and the # 40 Yellow . The
production run of each material was 75 yards, and it takes 2 yards to do the seat
inserts in one 914. While supplies last, Doug has made us a deal for $125 per
yard. I called and placed my order today! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

As soon as SMS has sold most or all of the two colors in this initial run, they will
work on the other colors. Based on inquiries so far, it looks like # 81 Grey,
# 47 Burgundy Red, # 42 Green, # 48 Sky Blue, and # 44 Orange, are all up for
consideration. Also, if the demand is strong for # 45 Bright Red and the
# 40 Yellow they will do another production run. SMS will need to see a non-faded
piece of your original material to get the colors correct. The larger the piece the better.

Don't miss this opportunity to get a very high quality reproduction.
