Thanks. Diamond tufting was the top of the food chain (above pleat and roll) in the late 50's early 60's but only the high dollar guys could afford it. Many of the hot rods and gassers in the mid-late sixties had full diamond tuft interiors, or tufted door panels with diamond sewn seats, and the later versions had smaller diamonds with more buttons (which I was after).

There was a 1950 Olds coupe in high school with tufted seats that everyone lusted after, even though one of the button caps was missing. It's a tremendous amount of work but doesn't require a sewing machine making it ideal for a home project. Eventually I'll finish the seats to match.
