"Too good to use..."
Back in the 80's a friend of mine had a very original 55 Pontiac that had the seats wrapped in plastic like that. We wondered if it wasn't some sort of factory fitment, but I have never seen it since. It made for some interesting journeys in summer!- Talbot

Things You Learn as an Old Car Driver
