We were talking about my dads cars from the 50's and 60's last night. I recall that after he bought a car he would get in the mail an ad for custom made plastic seat covers to keep that interior like new (for the next guy of course). It seems to me the company was from Cornwall or that area but I cannot recall the name of the company. Anybody remember them?
Freezing cold in the winter sweat like crazy in the summer. Horrible things.
The name is on the tip of my tongue but I cannot read it backwards in the mirror.
I don't remember the name of the company but, I do remember many of friends homes that their parents had the same on the couchterfield in duh living room, us trailer trash were not allowed in the living room , we were allowed to sit with news paper on the floor and kitchen table chairs to watch the ED Sullivan show on Sunday night.... was that the good old days..
I hated those seat covers always made the girls look flat chested...in the 55 Fords

My two Italian pals' parents had their sofas laminated in that plastic.
that was an era to remember, lol, my grandparents generation used it and i am not a spring chicken. it would of been an add-on back then at the car dealerships and the furniture stores as most of the seating was real cloth not the synthetic's that they hustled the scotch guarding for after the plastic.

Yeah, I had a buddy whose parents emigrated from Europe and had lived through some tough times indeed. The care they took with what little they owned was inspiring. The only thing that made me giggle a little was the velvet rope on chrome stanchions that barred the entry to the "formal" living room, the one with plastic on everything from the furniture, to the lamp shades. Coming from a home that was more .....utilitarian. As a kid I couldn't understand the point of having it but not using it, then I learned their history.
