Plaid Interiors Don't Wear Dead Men

Plaid .

Anyone who's over the age of 40 ( or of Scots-descent ,like me ) knows what that nifty pattern is . 

Plaid .

The patterns wasn't  exclusively a fashion statement from c.1969 - c.1979 , it was also a common site in vehicles from that era , especially 1973-1978 .

Plaid .

Anyone produce decals with that pattern ? If so , are different colours and / or pattern variations available ?

Plaid .

Here's a fine sample , direct from the 1973 Plymouth Satellite , et alia , brochure :

  Is that pattern not called a tartan John?  I did the seats in my Lotus by making my own  decals from images on the internet.

Scale Motorsports used to make clear and black plaid decals that would show whatever color you put underneath.

I'm not certain if they still make them or not.

 

I used some for a '63 Ford custom pickup.

@Nazz , You're likely correct . I've always referred to that as 'plaid' , but it's nice to know its proper nomenclature . Thanks !

@StevenGuthmiller , Thanks much ! That interior looks fantastic ! I'll check out Scale Motorsports .

I recently needed a plaid pattern for the seats on a Lotus Esprit. I couldn't find anything to match, so I made my own using coloured pencils.

I just found an appropriate pic on the net and printed it out on decal paper.

Those interiors look great now but I remember they didn’t wear well back in the day..

Joanne’s fabric store’s website has thousands of fabric choices that you can copy. I did that for my 1950 Ford Jitney bus seats.
