Looking for seat covers

DavidMich · 01-03-2002, 03:18 AM

I'm looking for Delta Air Lines Seat covers for the 2 rows of coach seats I have from a DC-8-50 series, or something close that will fit.

any help is appreciated.

email me at Dal777@cs.com

This might not be much help but there was a place in Kansas City, MO that was just to the south of the main runway of the downtown airport that might have had them. I think the name was KC Sales and it was an old warehouse about 7 stories high in the old stockyards area that was full of old aircraft seats.. most were TWA and Eastern but I do remember seeing a few old Delta seats in there as well as boxes and boxes of seatcovers that were cleaned and still in the wrappers.. Unfortunalty I think the building was torn down sometime after I moved away 6 years ago, the place was run by and old guy that didn't look like he had too many good years left, not sure if the business exists still or not.. be interesting to know if it does.. there was a lot of neat things I'd find in thoes old seat back pockets.. lol..

Where would one go to buy some used aircraft seats anyway? I'd luv to pickup a set of 1st class seats.

There's a place down in Miami that does sell used seats and other cabin equipment: http://www.keystoneaviation.com/ .
