Seat Project Update

We've got news on the seat upholstery project! You may recall that in March, we were able to order custom-made reproduction upholstery for the seats in the CA&E "curve-siders," cars 451, 453, and 460. More recently, we ran a very successful fundraiser that raised enough money to professionally restore the seats in all three cars using the new material. Now, Zach passes along the above photo of the custom seat material en route to Chicago! It's already been manufactured and should arrive in Chicago next week. We'll be working on removing seats to send to the upholstery shop, along with shipping them this fabric, with the goal of starting to install restored seats in the 460 by this fall. Stay tuned!
