I just published a little review of @4zaJim's "The Ferrari Place" on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/ChuslXGopRz/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Thank you! BTW, just under 2/3 the total print run of 330 books have already found a home, and Horton's Books in England will now also be stocking a limited number of copies . . . as has Maranello Collection. FYI, Save the Date . . . for those near Los Angeles, we'll be doing a book signing at Autobooks in Burbank on October 1. I'd love to line the street with Ferraris! That would be fantastic. Will share details as they come. Thanks again for all of the support!
So as the title of this thread says today I remembered FAF as I took my Ferrari canvas seat covers off for a light clean and saw this written inside... very cool. Anyone have any more information on these covers and how and why they came to be made? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I have pretty much the same seat covers, my car was first sold at FAF in 1980. I'm not sure if mine have been written on.
Turn your seat cover inside out and have a look near where the label is or it could be written anywhere inside. You might get a surprise.
I have a friend in LA . . . he's the original owner of a '78 GTS (consider how rare that is these days!) . . . and he has a set of these covers. I am now on a mission to see if faf is written on them. Cheers. Happy New Year everyone.
They were pretty common back in the day. They may have been distributed by Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories or someone like that, It would have been a simple matter for FAF to have their logo put on them for sales from their parts department. Steve Algrim may be able to shed some light on them.
I had a set of "seat savers" tan covers on a 79 308 from FAF. They worked very well and fit perfectly. Remember the "swicel" mates they use to sell. I'm sure thats the wrong name but they were a course fabric that let the dirt pass through to the mat but never rubbed in. Good product in my opinion.
I finally got around to taking the seat covers off. My car was purchased from FAF in 1980 and as mentioned before I have the same seat covers as Rosey. Mine do not have anything written on them and the only thing that remains of the tag like Rosey has is a small bit of orange label
I was cleaning out a closet last weekend and found my two unused covers in a box. Brand new condition, tan like the ones above with "Ferrari" on them. Ill check them out tonight for a label. I'm sure the ones in my car that I have been using since 2002 will have no readable info.
