Seat Upholstery Color

Another option may be to acquire the leather for the seats, and dye the door cards and arm rests to match. I have had good experience with a couple of different dyes from Colorplus. https://colorplus.com/

In this picture, I had completed the front seats, rear armrests, and the armrests on the doors. The door cards had not yet been done. These were my original rear seats; at this point in the process I was having the leather that matched the front seats mounted on another set of rear seats. I actually showed my car at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix like this.

I post this picture because it may provide another option. I almost did not change the door cards, and this picture gives you an idea of what your car might look like if you don't. I would recommend doing all the arm rests, including those on the doors, to match the seat leather.

A couple other thoughts....Find 2 dyed hides that match the desired color, texture, and softness and send them to World Upholstery to sew them up using their template.

Another option....I have to think there are some very skilled upholsterers somewhere between West Palm Beach and Miami that can reupholster your seats to a Pebble Beach/Amelia Island Standard. Find the hides you like and they can shape the seats to contour them to what you like as to the side bolsters and how tight they reinforce the bottom springs.
