History Leopard skin upholstery

...truly this is part of the influence... wang dang...​

 

I have one bomber seat built and when I get the second one built I am definitely going to use the leopard skin upholstery in the 1937 ford coupe. Not my favorite upholstery, but I always like to be different

 

I’m building a 49 shoebox and thinking of doing it in leopard skin , is the material you got for sale ? Any pictures?

 

. I’ll be interested in some leopard fun fur material

 

Ever since I heard Pink Caddillac by Bruce Springsteen I would have had fun putting together a mid 50's Coupe or convert, painted pink, with a white top and seats with leopard inserts! And on the deck lid would be written " First there was man, then there was woman and there was sin. And parked curbside was a pink caddillac! lol Larry

 

Mr Lion gives his opinion on Leopard skin upholstery............


I agree with him!

 

AND he barfed up a REAL fur ball.

 

Leopard is "Spot On" every place it is.

 

It will whenever I get my butt in gear and get that '46 Chev or '47 Buick Sedanette done!

 

Back in 61 the brother of a gal I was going with worked in an upholstery shop and had a leopard interior in his Black 56 Buick HT. He later moved to Ca. went into business for himself and did very high end work, private jets, yachts, etc. Ironically he came back to Mi. for extended family visits and would do some work here. He upholstered my cpe in 96. No it's not leopard. Light gray leather seats and dark gray English wool headliner and carpet

 

It has a time and place forever....gaarooovy...

 

Yeh but she'd bounce right back up. Her main concern should have been her height while sitting in a convertible.

 

Did that belong to Bad, bad LeRoy Brown?

 

In Your Sloper...This could be a Valley Customs Day out as, Hotrods Win the Race and Customs get the Girls...

That Merc was a Houston car for years. An artist who’s name escapes me used to own it.

 

OT, but funny!

 

When I was a little kid (late '40s), my uncle drove a '36 5W with a zebra interior.
