set of 4 1955 MINT auto seat covers - info?
-
(Was just told this might be a Chevy set, so am posting here too).
Found a mint-in-the-box set of four pristine auto seat covers, complete with instructions, wrench, etc. The instructions are marked 1955. They can fit two door or four door sedans. I suspect this is a great find, but I'd love to know more about them before I list them.
I can't find anything similar online, i.e. original vintage car seat covers. (All I could find was a repro set at over $1,000). Are these for Chevrolets? What maker/model/year will they fit besides 1955? What info should I include when I sell them? What sort of value are we looking at? My guess is that someone who restores classic cars would dig these. Totally original from the 50s, never used. Thanks!

some more info:
The box is marked Tailored Finest-Fit Auto Seat Covers and is stamped style JETSPUN and BLUE (I think). The instructions are copyright J.C. Freyberg. They are "for all 2-Door Cars including Club Coupes, Coaches, Hard Tops and Convertibles" and "all 4-Door Cars Including 4-Door Sedans and 4-Door Hard Tops." The original box was mailed from L&C Mayers, 76 Ninth Avenue, NY 11, NY.
The box says "Advertised in The Saturday Evening Post" as well as "As Advertised in LIFE" and "Good Car Keeping begins with beautiful seat covers!"
The tags only identify placement, i.e. rear seat cushion, etc.
