You may recover all or at least part of your $1,500. roadster36 04-26-2019 @ 9:37 AM reply profile send p.m. Member Posts: 43 Joined: Oct 2009 I contacted Cartouche three times to get their samples,so far nothing. If they are unable to provide samples why would I consider a purchase from them ? LB got me for over 1500.00 bucks. I think my car building days are done. trjford8 04-26-2019 @ 8:24 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 4203 Joined: Oct 2009 Marty,try Cartouche, they advertise in the V-8 Times. 1-877-470-1586. 1936TWC 04-26-2019 @ 8:02 AM reply profile send p.m. Member Posts: 82 Joined: Oct 2009 LeBaron Bonney; I was all set to order a upholstery kit from them.

BUSINESS Posted February 16, 2018 Updated February 16, 2018 t Antique auto upholstery business setting up shop in Wilton The owner of Massachusetts-based LeBaron Bonney Co. plans a 'cut-and-sew operation' in the Bass-Wilton building. BY LIZ MARQUISSUN JOURNAL Share facebook tweet reddit linkedin email print WILTON — The Planning Board on Thursday approved an application for a Massachusetts upholstery business to set up shop in the Bass-Wilton building at 284 Main St. LeBaron Bonney Co. owner Scott Holbrook said he plans to hire 11 to 15 people for his automotive upholstery plant and begin operations May 1. It will be “primarily a cut-and-sew operation,” he said. 1934 Ford 03-22-2019 @ 8:19 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 568 Joined: Oct 2009 I did a interior in 2018 and thought they were a lot slower on followups than before, but they made my stuff. The Hemming's article said their assets and liabilities were about equal, which offers hope that another company could buy them out. I'm hoping that happens, as it has for lots of small parts companies.. 1934 Ford's since 1972 42wagon 03-21-2019 @ 3:54 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 584 Joined: Oct 2009 Supereal is correct. Those that are dedicated to the antique hobbies are aging and the younger generations do not have the interest for a variety of reasons. As an example the Train Collectors Association had over 32,000 members when I joined in 1998. Today it is less than 22,000. Aside from the loss of members I feel there is a lack of interest when a row of new cars could just as well be a row of bars of soap since they all look alike. When we loose the companies that have been the backbone of the hobby it does not bode well for the future. supereal 03-20-2019 @ 1:40 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 6819 Joined: Oct 2009 We have been in business as a machine shop for more than thirty years, and have assisted many hobbyists with their antique and collector car projects. That part of our clientele has steadily diminished, and is a small part of our work, as our costs continue to rise. I am in my mid 80's, and my son is past 60, and we have joined those who see little hope that we too, can survive in today's hostile economy. It isn't that we have lost interest, but without enough profit, no one can afford the investment in time and money. 3w2 03-20-2019 @ 12:50 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 823 Joined: Oct 2009 It is likely that given the form of the bankruptcy, any third party property such as customers' seat springs and upholstery/top material (such as the material reserved for side curtains) in their premises will not be returned to its owners, no matter how well marked it may be unless a bullet-proof claim is submitted. One can only image how messy and drawout that will be given how much fun it is to deal with bureaucrats.
