    Are these "Pearl" Houndstooth seats?

    I searched all over the place and I've only been able to find one picture of this kind of seat. It said it was "pearl houndstooth" but searching that finds nothing else.

    Here's a corner of the rear seat where it's not terribly stained.



    Neither Mitchell nor I have seen these before, so I assume they're not common. Also, anyone have advice on cleaning these without messing up the leather?

    Looks like my anthracite houndstooth colors. Can you find any build information for the upholstery? Sometimes there's a build sheet for the car placed under the rear seat bench. You'd be looking for code 181 if it's the anthracite one.

      Leather? really?

      Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

        At the edges. It's the houndstooth cloth, with plain cloth at the sides, and then there's about 5" of leather on the flat vertical side of the rears. The fronts have a similar set up. It might be fake leather, but either way, since it's not cloth, I'm thinking I don't want to get it wet very much.
