This is a 1963 Bentley was completed in Sept 2011. Our customer wanted to restore the
interior to its past glory. The old covers were original leather, however they were damaged and
had a previous refurbish attempt. They were red leather that was dyed/painted to match door
panels out of burgundy leather. The door panels, armrests needed to be redone, in addition to
the seats, and carpets. The headliner had a visitor, which ate a hole which we decided to plug
up. The carpets were thread bare, and ill fitting. Special Thanks to the owner for allowing us to
feature this beautiful car.
Work in progress pictures. This car took 6 hides of leather to complete, and countless hours of custom attention.
After about 50 years A Customer Found Us Again!
Yves redid his car in 1963 and now We did this
one in 2011!
Here is our most recent project! 1932 Chevy
Coupe. Enjoy!
Here is a Letter from the owner of this car regarding his history with us.
"Yves Cote and I met in 1963. I was completing my first project car, a 1932 Chevy coupe. Yves had recently
started a business on Park Street in Bristol called Bristol Auto Seat Covers. He was given the task of
installing the interior on my prized possession. All black, diamond & button, pleated naugahyde. The car
came out great and won a prize at the autorama in Hartford that year.I raced and showed the car until 1965
when I sold the car to Yves when I left for the service. On my return in 1969 both the car and Yves were
nowhere to be found until 2010.
Here we are again. I have another 1932 Chevy coupe in need of upholstery and someone told me Yves
was in business in Plymouth Ct. What a coincidence! There was no doubt in my mind who was going to get
the job. I believe the pics speak for themselves. It was a pleasure to see and work with Yves and his staff
again and I am more than satisfied with their efforts.
I am negotiating the return of my original car and if successful Yves will have another restoration to
complete.
