The leather seats in my '37 Ruby De Luxe are orginal and far from perfect which is fine. At some point I believe they were 'painted' and the leather is anything but supple. It leads me to wonder what the original finish was (gloss, satin or matt for want of better terms) and what to treat the seats with to get as near an original look/feel as possible? Modern re-trims seem to use matt sometimes satin finished leather whereas on prewar vehicles that I have seen that apparently have original leather seats they are very glossy. Any thoughts gratefully received.
