Name that Car – #4 Answer

The answer is a 1967 Dodge Polara.  Steve got it correct.

I like these cars especially with the 440’s.

Name that Car – #4

Ok this is one of the big three.

These came with various engine sizes and in two and four door.

Back then not really considered a muscle car, but I’ve seen some you’d call American Muscle with no problem.

TMI 70 MUSTANG SEAT UPHOLSTERY – Review

Included in my list of mod and upgrades for my 1970 Mustang was some new upholstery.

Now there is always the issue of replacing vinyl with vinyl or replacing it with leather died to the color.  But that’s just not going to happen on this “average” budget.

So I ordered a complete set of TMI from M Detail in Riverside, Ca.  The price was right and although I’m not in a hurry the shipping was quick.

Now I’ve never done upholstery before, so this will be the first time. I’m also no expert in Corinthian vinyl (umm..I’m no Ricardo Montabon…) or Ruffino vinyl (just for the record I’m against harming Corinthains and Ruffinos so I specifically ordered imitation version) but the quality of the stitching and the thickness of the padding was very impressive.

So I’m going on the record as saying that if want to stay on budget and quality is important give TMI Upholstery a try.

I don’t receive compensations for these review, just make comments on what I like.

Thanks for reading.
