My parents had a 73 beetle they got after they sold the squareback. It had the black & white houndstooth cloth seats that you might have seen somewhere. I haven't seen them since in any other VW. They wanted seatcovers for them because, well, we were kids, and I'm almost positive they came from the dealer. They were vinyl covers, looked exactly like the vinyl material other VW seats were made out of, houndstooth pattern and all. They wore terribly, seams splitting very quickly, etc. ===== Aaron Clow - http://www.tiserves.com/VW/ '71 FI AT Square - On the Road '71 FI AT Fasty - Off the Road '71 AT Square - the Parts Bin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
