Noted that Amazon claims to have the DURALEE blue and green check upholstery fabric which closely matches that which was found in 1953 and 1954 Hudsons.

    Would not it be more for 53? I have a 53 Super Wasp ( parts car) and a 54 Super Wasp.
    From memory this fabric could be like the one in the 53, but, as for the 54, it is some kind of hound's-tooth design. Would like to find some one day...But thanks for the info. It's always useful and deeply appreciated. Michel

    Excellent reminder, Ken. My wife and I reupholstered a Mercury back in the '80s. She had some sofa material laying around. The car looked great for a year... then the ultra violet sunlight caused uneven fading near the windows, since the car was parked outside. Lazy-Boy sofas use a very similar material in one model, but we know better now.

    Superwasp, I contacted SMS folks and they sent me a sample of a red and white hound's-tooth design. The design is a bit smaller than the original material that was in the car but it was a good quality wool material with a good backing on it. Not sure if I will buy any but it might be worth a shot for you to check them out.
