I bought a complete interior from Ciadella for my red 62 Belair Spt. Cpe. back in 1998 thinking that I'd be ahead of the game when I was ready to do the car. Now it's 2021 and I'm finally getting to the car closer to completion. So I get my 1998 interior out and that I've had carefully stored away and find out that the colored badging is all wrong. I thought it was a little off when I'd check it out now and then but didn't realize that it was really off. The door panels do not have any color, just the rectangle badges.
I've called Ciadella and they claim that they did not make that interior that it was turned over to CARS inc. at that time. Sounds like it was a mixed up mess for Ciadella back then. I've contacted CARS and they said that Ciadella was still making those interiors in July of 1998.
At this point I'm probably going to have to buy new seat covers and then have a pin striper do the badging on the door panels.
Can't blame Ciadella for not wanting to warranty this after 23 years even though I know that it was all Ciadella material.
I should've been more on the ball and not have let this happen. I kinda remember seeing some of these incorrect badging on some of the Belairs back in the late nineties that I thought was made by CARS.
I have two other Ciadella interior in my other cars and they are perfect.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
