My Granddad needs help

My Granddad has quite the collection of old cars. Most of them are Corvairs, but he has a few other cars too. He has an Impala and a Cutlass from the early 70s, a 60-something station wagon, and a 58 Buick Super. The latter is what I am writing about today. Somehow, a large animal got into the interior of the 58 Buick and tore it up badly. Granddad is crushed. He loves all his cars, but this is one of the very special ones. If anyone has any ideas about places we could look for replacement interior stuff for this car, we'd really appreciate it. The interior is black cloth with a white leather stripe. I'm at work right now, but later today I'll try to get some pics of the car and the interior if that would help.

try www.hemmings.com in the parts section. This is supposedly the collector car bible...

hemmings is a very good source. you could also do some searches for car clubs for that car. they would be able to help you out a lot more. When my Dad redid the interior of his 55 Ford he joined a club and actually found the last piece of material left over from the factory
