Restoration Built Around Your Goals

Every vehicle and every owner has a different vision.

You may want to return a family heirloom to the road, preserve a historically significant automobile, complete an unfinished project or restore a collector car to a higher standard.

We begin by evaluating the vehicle, discussing your priorities and creating a restoration plan that fits your goals.

Upholstery &

Interior Restoration

The interior is one of the most personal parts of a restoration. It is where the owner experiences the car, and the materials, stitching and fit can completely change how finished the vehicle feels.

Cerf Motorworks provides upholstery and interior restoration for classic, antique, rare and collector vehicles. Depending on the project, this may include:

  • Seat upholstery and cushioning

  • Carpeting and floor coverings

  • Headliners

  • Door panels

  • Dash and interior trim

  • Convertible tops

  • Leather, vinyl and period-appropriate fabrics

  • Custom stitching and detailing

  • Repair of worn or damaged interior components

 

We can recreate an original-style interior, preserve usable materials or develop a tasteful custom design that complements the vehicle. Every decision is based on the car’s history, the owner’s goals and how the vehicle will be used.
