 Anybody know anything about these? I have one complete one, one opened one, and most of another. Any idea how old or where they came from? |

I remember seeing those in the old auto world cats...
they was in the 60's and early part of 70 I believe.
it gave you all the material to do interiors along with piping thread.
Dont know anything about the company.

I remember putting these interior kits on the Auto World order sheets that I used to compile endlessly from their catalog of custom model building goodies.
Early 60's items, at the height of the customizing phase. Main components were thin leather sheets and pinwale corduroy in various colors, thin trim cord. The one on the left is from Ulrich, same guys that made the mini men.
Most everything is still available to duplicate the kit contents and more. Look for this stuff at your local Jo Ann Fabrics or other craft/material stores. Those old Car Model and Model Car Science articles are great references on how guys were using these materials back then.
