Last Month's Answer: 1949 Cadillac

A Little Spring in your Step...I mean Seat.

I know I say this all the time, but one of the great things about working here at DVAP is the people we meet.  And the best people are the ones that won’t take "no" for an answer. When a Classic Car Builder is told, “You’ll never find it”, they reply, “I'll just make it then".  These people, (which includes a lot of you reading this), are in a class of their own.

One of our longest known customers, (going back to 1993), is the perfect example of what I mentioned above. He specializes in 1958 - 1959 GM Convertibles and after struggling to find quality seats, he decided to just make them himself.  We are excited to be able to offer these handmade seats through DVAP, and truly help our customers in a way that we have never been able to. Finally, we have a solution to supplying a seat to our customers that is really difficult to find, really expensive, or just doesn’t exist.

Our first candidate is 1958 Chevrolet Impala CONV seats. If you know any one that is building any 58 CONV and is in need of rear seats....we are finally going to have them.  Below is a link and bear with my amateur photography as we just got these last night and I was super excited to get them just in time for the newsletter.

1958 GM CONV Rear Seat
