After a long arduous road., my "Front seat" is about to be finished from my upholstery guy....10 months later!...haha...wonder how long it will take to get the back seat?...I guess all I need is the front to drive it. Wahoo......!
Been getting some feedback on the back of the seats....so was wondering what is "correct"...this is how I did it...not sure what is right., I have seen so many different ways that they have been done., but I liked this way...someone told me they should be black?????...that just didn't seem right at all!!!
Well, whatever the verdict, my guy did an excellent job, I had him make my clear slip covers too, so I can use them for daily driving and take them off at shows, held on by velcrow, easy to put on and remove...
.I am restoring a 60 Desoto Adventurer HT 2Door at the same time, so the SF is just getting restored to nice driver status for now while the Desoto gets finished.... Then will put some more into the SF.
I like the way the seats turned out, even though not 100% correct???they look great in the car.

But I do like the way the seats turned out, even though not 100% correct???they look great in the car.
Hey Guyman - We have a lot in common, I also have a 1960 Desoto. It's the first old car I purchased in 2001. I'm the third owner and it had 48,000 original miles on it, it has 67,000 now. It's an Adventurer four door sendan and my wife's favorite.

Hey, pretty cool...I love the 59s.....but the 60 adventurers are quite a bit more rare...so jumped on a chance to buy a nice almost rust free one...I have a post going on Forward Look about it....almost ready to fire up.
Not too sure when I will be getting the back seat for the 59....but did take it out today for a cruise...was a beautiful day here in Sacramento.
I still got a lot of work on the SF to do...needs wide whites, install correct mirrors, and while installing a windshield with one of those new gaskets...cracked it....so taking a trip up to Johns soon for another....uggggg. john supplied me with a used gasket this time so this one won't crack.
Dick, you got some nice rides.......actually to be honest...I saw your fury on the internet that got me interested in the 59 furys when I first started looking for one....I've owned two now...and a 56 dodge, 56 desoto, and now the 60 desoto...so have "acquired" a taste for these classics in the past two years....before that, I was strictly Shelby's a n mustangs for 30 years....lol
Last time I took the 59 out, I almost caused two accidents from people looking at the car while driving. Ha ha
