Used are hard to find ! A drawback to a post car! I went over 1700 miles to get a pair for my red interior post!

Post by: option B9 on July 25, 2018, 08:44:57 PM: Years ago I bought a post coupe just to get the interior panels for my coupe project... But i do have a set of black rears that need some work but i thought they would work if needed, so i saved them. If you pay for the shipping they are yours, that would free up space for me to collect more Special/Skylark stuff !!! I'm real busy working on my Special right now, but i will be able to ship it out when I return from the Macungie PA Car Show. That would be the week of August 7th.

Post by: Randy Jones on July 26, 2018, 10:25:34 AM: Hello Folks,

I took a little time to contact Todd at PUI interiors regarding the possibility of producing an order of Post Door Panel sets. If you have think you could use new post door panel set, I could let Todd know the target quantity the group is interested in. I understand this inquiry may amount to nothing, but I figured what the heck.... give the company these guys a call. I am sure a lot of questions could be brought forward, I was just trying to get a count of interested post owners.

Todd's reply is listed below:

Thanks for reaching out to me on these door panels. Please send me pictures of the front and rear panels for the 65 Skylark 2 door sedan. This will help us determine if we can do them or not.

Also what initial quantity (sets) are you speaking about?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Todd Bidwell

Post by: jmos4 on July 27, 2018, 08:33:11 AM: Hi all,

Post car interior stuff is very hard to find, I got a set a few years ago, luckily was the color I needed. As for market its tough to say, as the only company that makes the correct seat covers is Legendary, and last I was told by a fellow member, that they have only sold 4 sets in like 7 years.

Would be nice to have the option for the correct interior, maybe you could sell them on Special door panels as well. The one's for the Gran Sports were used in Skylarks and Special Deluxes, though there is a car local to me that sports the standard Special door panels, which are different.

As for current options, hardtop panels will fit, just not correct, any A-body, Chevrolet, Pontiac or Oldsmobile.

Keep us all posted on where you get with new ones. Also note the material has a specific grain so make sure if they do reproduce them to include it. I did a little research when I was looking into seat covers.

Regards,

Well I would buy a set and Jon has a post, so he would be game. That make 3 sets as of today (7-27-18). Of course, it will take a bit more time to find out if more folks are game. I will bring forward any new information I hear.

My post skylark is getting the finish touches to a new nailhead drive-line, will get repainted and new head liner. New door panels would be a great detail.

Thanks, Randy

Post by: option B9 on July 27, 2018, 08:20:05 PM: In support of the project please put me in for a set, my post coupe should be ready for paint this fall . So a extra set of door panels would be a great idea if we can get it made.

Post by: 9er3delta on August 26, 2018, 09:21:15 PM: I'll be needing a set of black 2-door post panels for my GS too within the next year. I could buy them sooner and store them if they were available. Thanks!

Post by: wildcat65 on August 27, 2018, 03:39:47 PM: Have you tried SMS fabrics? They had a set of 67 Post Cpe door and rear panels.
They look OK = not exact but highly functional. Maybe they have done some 65's?
