I got front seat covers a few years ago from: Seat Cover Warehouse, 1607
North State Road 7, Hollywood, FL 33021, (954) 963-4989

I pulled my shreddy tan corduroy from the front seats and sent it to them
and they made a pattern (which they still have) and made a wonderful
replacement replicated from the original. I switched material to solid brown
velour type material on the seat top and seat face, and solid brown vinyl on
the sides and back. They even made the covers for the arm rests.  They came
out really good, continue to serve me very well, and were very reasonable in
price.

The bench seat was easy enough to recover - my wife and I did that
ourselves.
