Default '62 Custom leather interior

Just got a pic from my auto upholsterer. I love it, but still wish he could have got more of those creases out - Let me know what you think:

Except the old days it was sparkle vinyl.

Leather is much better.

The interior looks great. I wouldn't worry about the wrinkles. It's leather. Besides the heat from the sun will probably calm them down. If it really bothers you if they don't relax they can be steamed.

Thanks guys - I am a perfectionist and he told me upfront what to expect with leather and some creases being inevitable. I love how it turned out and exactly what I was looking for with that older classic look.

edited: $1500 seats, $750 door trims, $300 kick panels. Plus $250 to blast and powdercoat the seat frames ($2800 total). Just bought some plush ACC Essex carpet and this will go in next week.
