    Ha! ... I just looked closer at the pic of the rear seat. The fabric looks like the same pattern as my grandparents LTD, except their interior was tan.

    You're welcome!

    The Bright Lime with bright green stripes combo on my Grabber is definitely straight out of the 70's! I like that it is a pretty unique color combo.

    You're seats turns out awesome!! I really want a '71-'72 Comet GT, but 'settled' for a '73 Comet with a 302 and 3 speed manual to go with my Grabber as a project for now.

    I know my pictures have a lot of shadows and I will definitely take some better pictures. I was just so geeked to have the seats in was in a hurry to take it my first weekly cruise that night. When I got there there my wife said aren't you going to take some pictures? So I hastily took them just to share with you guys. I will post some better pictures shortly.

    Yeah if my memory serves me right the pattern book said it was used in the early 70's Lincolns and most likely that would have meant the LTDs also.

    More Seat Pictures

    Here's a couple of more pictures of the seats. You can get a betterd idea of the color of the seats in the picture out of the car. The pictures in the car get a little washed out in the sunlight. The seats were on display for the first time at the Shelby American Auto Club Car Show at Ford WHQ in Dearborn, Michigan on 6-1-14. The MCCI club had a mini meet at the car show.
