Default Seat covers

I am looking for these seat covers for my 1979. I can not find them for purchase. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You probably won't find them. The 77-82 cloth has never been reproduced, so unless you get lucky and find some matching cloth in an old auto upholster y shop you're probably out of luck.

It might be worth a call to Melanie at Al Knoch. Up to about 10 years ago Knoch still had a small assortment of seat cloth on hand, but last I heard all or most of it is now gone. Liken Knoch, I don't think Top Flight (aka Corvette America) has any cloth left on hand, but it couldn't hurt to call them too. You could also try SMS Auto Fabrics. They probably have the largest selection of discontinued automotive vinyl, leather and cloth in the country. I think they only sell it by the yard, so if they have what you're looking for you'll have to buy it and and then have someone like Top Flight, Al Knoch or a local auto upholsterer make up the covers for you.
