Progress photos on the 1969 Cadillac DeVille Convertible interior

So, the camocaddy has been in the shop for several weeks now as they completely redo the interior and convertible top.

They are completely reupholstering all the seats, dashboard, door panels and carpet. They are also completely replacing the convertible top with a new vinyl top.

Also, in order to put the convertible top on and have it aligned properly, the windows have to be able to roll up all the way, and one of the windows didn’t roll up all the way. So the caddy had to spend a couple of weeks in the glass shop getting the windows realigned, the power window motor fixed, and the windows put on the tracks.
