Bird is the word..... Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats. H. L. Mencken US editor (1880 - 1956)
Phil,
Do you think you can find the distributor for the "Fred and Wilma Flintstone" matching seat covers for the Retro Bird. I would guess that you can easily fill a TBN order for 50 units before the end of the week. However we will need a price.
I tried Bunny Lou but he only works with rabbit fur.
If you can't find a source I'll probably contact Black Beauty. He seems to have a way to locate all kinds of weird stuff.

And I've not received the side mirror rain defectors from China. Maybe someone should post a poll on whether members here take their 'cherished' birds through an automatic car wash or only do hand jobs. Rusty?I'd rather never subject Black Beauty to that harsh a treatment. Somethings don't change. A purist..at heart

Here's the deal. I just ordered some cheep wooden bead seat "cushions". They're real cheep. If they don't work no BIG deal. I just want something to stop me from sweating in those nice black seats. At least they are not to ugly!
I used the bead ones on leather seats one time and when I would take them out it would leave round impressions, they would eventually come out, but if you are planning on taking them in and out it may not be a good option.

These 'Flintstones' look like a bad road kill with the top down on the car. But, obviously, someone 'decorated' with them.
If you are anywhere near the LA area there is a lady who makes custom seat covers: Sophies Seat Design 710 Vine St Los Angeles CA 90038 323-464-1400. I called her ahead of time, she told me to bring the car in because she didn't have a pattern and she took some measurements, I picked my fabric, went to the strip mall next door and got a mani/pedi and when I got back my seat covers were done and expertly installed. They are made to fit the seats and she puts in the extra padding and stitching to make them look more custom. I paid $165 and it included the headrest covers and a shower cap type cover for the console lid. I also took in some Chicago Bear fabric and she made slip on covers for my husband's Cobalt for $65.
I think there is a photo in my gallery.
