Does anyone make seat covers for non-split bench seats?

Let me know if you find out, I have a double-impossible combination of a maroon 3 passenger bench...

I'm kind of a wagon guy myself, and currently own 3 or 4 of em, and as it happens, I also have a full service auto upholstery shop. I probably can't get the exact grain of material, but I'm absolutely certain I can come close, and making seat covers should be an easy enough task. Matching the pattern is easy, and I absolutely use better quality materials than the big guys. Inquire if you wish, and thanks, Bill 69440
Installing new foam shouldn't be a set back either, but for that, I'd need to have the seat. Your nearby auto trim shop should easily be able to do the same thing.

The correct material is available from SMS in Oregon and Original Auto in Michigan. Original may even have NOS covers for the car, like they did for my '64 Savoy wagon.

My problem is finding seat foam. My front and rear covers are almost perfect, but the foam is so blown out that the seats rumple up for a good day or two after I drive it for awhile. People only seem to make foam for buckets and rear benches.

This is the interior I made for my 64. It's a M body front seat (1988? bucket-back bench), factory rear seat, and home-made door panels using as much original trim as I could salvage. The covers themselves are from JC Whitney, and I bought matching fabric to the seats at the same time (for the door panels).

I admit I did hire a bit of professional help for some of this, but you have to admit, the results were outstanding, and since it was all from JCW, it was QUITE affordable!

Seat foam can be bought at any craft store. Molded seat foam is a different story (and not really needed if you can operate an electric knife).

A competent upholstery shop can make the foam for you.
