Legendary does make the correct seat covers for the post cars. Its the one without the picture. If you read the fine print it will say sedan.

Hi,

I just ordered a set and even sent legendary a few pictures Dan was nice enough to share to confirm the pattern. Will see in about 3 more weeks.

While I was searching I noticed other restoration places sold the hardtop/convertible seat covers with 2 tone and called it a post car seat cover

Regards,
Jim

Hi again,

Original parts group is one of the suppliers selling the hardtop pattern seat covers as post covers see their web site I imagine the rear is the correct size if your not worried about it being correct for the car it may save you a buck or two.

Only supplier I spoke with was Legendary and the sales guy checked with their tech guy to confirm what they were selling but still wish they had a picture to set my mind at ease as its not cheap doing an interior and would rather get it correct or pay someone to do it with the correct pattern or even the way I originally wanted

I have heard Legendary does have deal but not sure when

If you send me a email I will send you a few pictures of the correct seat patterns as I'm on my phone so no resizing

Good luck,
Jim

Yes, they do have sales! Their big one is in Dec/January, usually about 20% off.
They did have a pre-summer sale last year May 16-21 2012, also 20% off. I have no idea if it will be repeated this year.

Keep an eye on their website and Facebook page for sale announcements.
Their products are sold through other vendors, so you may be able to get them on sale elsewhere.
