Default Seat covers at Corvettes at Carlisle

I have seats from a 62, and was thinking of taking them to Carlisle. I remember seeing a place that would do the seat cover change at the show. I was wondering if anyone had info pros & cons & cost

Thanks Wade

Al Knoch does install seat covers at major shows.
But he is usually booked up months in advance.
Great install job a a reasonable price.

Many years ago I ordered seat covers for my '62 from Al Knoch, then - when the annual "Pittsburgh Parts-O-Rama" took place in Butler, PA. occurred, I drove there & had them installed by his crew.
Excellent work!...

Knoch will install them at the show, but as said above, they're likely booked already. You could call them and see what the chance of having them done there are. If they're booked already, you could make an appointment with them for Fall Carlisle, as they will be back in 5 weeks for the fall show.

Corvette America will also recover your seats, but they don't do it at the show. You can take the seats to them at Carlisle, and they'll recover them at their factory, and ship them back to you. I've had CA recover seats a few times, and been very happy with the job they did.

Do they discount convertible tops at the Carlisle show?

Knoch usually has "show specials", but I don't recall on which items. He usually runs specials at all of the shows he does, or at least he use too.

Yes, Ordered one for the 58 about a month ago. Told them I would pick it up at Carlisle and was told I can get the "show discount". Don't recall what it is though
