Most think they were cloth, maybe some vinyl along the bottom.Thus, an early car would be cloth around the driver, not only on the seats, the door panels but also the headliner. Two s.2 cars were examined, one having the seat \u201cbuttons\u201d which were sometimes installed. Note the it also has vinyl on the seat sides, where the other one has cloth. Vinyl on the seat backs was common.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of redone door panels with vinyl on the top and bottom and cloth in the middle. This is fairly practical.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lanciainfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Immagine_163.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<dl id=\"\" class=\"wp-caption \" style=\"width: 310px;\">\n<dd class=\"wp-caption-dd\">redone 2nd s. panel, vinyl on bottom<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lanciainfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Immagine_269.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lanciainfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Immagine_279.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">redone 4th s. with vinyl trim and bottom<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lanciainfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Immagine_159-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lanciainfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/original.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"310\" height=\"215\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">very well done 2nd series, with vinyl on bottom<\/p><\/div>\n<dl id=\"\" class=\"wp-caption \" style=\"width: 428px;\">\n<dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lanciainfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMGP2693.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The real trick was to find unrestored cars, however.
