  I'm in the process of purchasing a 36 5 window business coupe that has no upholstery at all. needing help as to where to purchase good quality upholstery?

  Unless you want a custom job from an independent shop I think Cartouche may be the only option. Cartouche is owned by Eckler's and Eckler's customer service is terrible.

  A little clarification as to the body style of the car you are looking at.
There are two styles of coupes in '36, a 3 window and a 5 window, the number of windows is counted on the side of the vehicle, plus the windshield and back window.

  Welcome clips221, I have a 37 project car that also needs new upholstery. I am only trying to fix all the rust issues and make it a good driver car, so I may try to have the upholstery done by a local shop, if I can find one willing to tackle the job. I was planning on contacting Bill Hirsch company for the original style material. If that is not available, I may just go with something that I like, like leather. Good luck with your new project.
