1935 Hudson Deluxe 8 Correct upholstery pattern?

Ern

Hi Guy's, I am restoring a 1935 Hudson 8 Deluxe and am up to the upholstery stage. I plan to do it in gray bedford cord but am a little confused with the pattern. The advertising leaflets show a different pattern on the seats to what I have found in cars. Can anyone inform me of the correct pattern please!

Assuming the 1935 models' interiors weren't much different from 1934, the no cost choices in 1934 were bedford cord or mohair with broadcloth at extra cost. UK built cars had leather as an option.
 I did my car in plain light gray mohair. The previous owner had used tan corduroy  (the type they use to make pants) - which looked awful - but underneath I found scraps of gray cloth with a faint stripe in it - a bit like the cloth used in Model As.
That's easy to get in the US but not in the UK, hence I used plain mohair.
 I hope this helps.
David.

Thanks David, do you recall what colour the faint stripe was? I have samples from U.S.A. and one was gray with a thin burgundy strip but I thought that might be more like the fifties. Is yours anything like either one in the photos?

Ern,
I'll have a look in my bits and pieces box as I might still have a little bit of it. If I have, I'll send it to you.
If I haven't, one of the SMS fabrics was pretty close and that was described as early 1930s Ford.
I'd be interested to see some pics of your car if you'll private message them to me, please.
 I don't seem to be able to download a pic of my interior on the Forum so I will send one to your email.
David.
