    I'm working on a new project, and time is very limited. I'm looking for a headliner and front seat cover for a '40 Buick Super 4dr sedan. I've found people that can sell me the material, and people who can make them for me...eventually(best lead time was 8 weeks, and that's to much). The guy wants the car done in just a few weeks. I'd prefer to buy ready made stuff rather than make it myself just cause of the time it will save. Any sources you can provide would be extreamly helpful. Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick replys. I'll give Acme a call in the morning. I think that '40 Chevy stuff is the same, although the material may be different Can anyone confirm that? Thanks

    www.automotiveinteriors.com Got the seat cover for my 39 Plymouth in about 2 weeks for $168 shipped to my door. The covers are priced by the type and pattern of material you choose. I think mine look pretty good.

    Give these guys a shot, I know they carry headliners, but not sure about seat covers, they do however only specialize in older Buicks.
