....regarding the "early" upholstery for the early production 26 Coupes? It is olive/brown with green pin stripes. I have my grandfather's work car (a 26 Model T Coupe driven until 1954) that I restored in 1980-81. At the time I painted the car Royal Maroon and put gray/white pinstripe upholstery in it. Then Bill Hirsch sold this authentic "early" upholstery material but I never had the money to buy it, wasting it instead on clothes and food for the kids.
Now I would like to redo it like it was when my grandfather had it, i.e. Highland Green with the olive/brown and green pin stripe. The upholstery available today is the later production gray with a mallard color pinstripe. Bill Hirsh told me he sold the remainder of the roll to someone. Anyone know who that someone is??? He could not remember and had no record of it. Any help or leads is GREATLY appreciated.
