Velour Seats
We all know that automotive interiors used to be something special and that was partly due to Velour Seats. Velour seating was another option aside from the standard cloth or vinyl seating of the era. It was more cushioned and gave the interior a lot more luxury than the average car. Cadillac and Chrysler were the two main automotive brands that utilized Velour seating more than the others (via Motor City Garage).
The main problem with Velour seating was that it was expensive to maintain and keep in good shape. If you had an active family or did a lot of traveling, the seats were routinely ripped apart. There were ways to get around this problem but most drivers just moved onto leather or cloth interiors. By the ’90s, most automakers had done away with this type of seating fabric.
