THE LEATHER OPTION These days, leather upholstery is no longer considered to be a luxury option.Thirty percent of the cars now sold in North America have leather interiors, which is up from only 10% two decades ago. Interestingly, in the first automobiles, leather came standard.There was no cloth Upholstery, which was considered to be the luxury material.Then, in the early 1920s, as automo- biles at moderate prices became closed to the elements, mohair upholstery, which mimicked sofa upholstery, began to be offered. In limousines that were produced between the 1920s and 1970s, durable leather seats were largely reserved for the chauffeur com- partment. Cars such as Rolls-Royce retained leather throughout, and the material began to be associated with luxury. I I II Whether you own a luxury car with leather interior, or an economy car that just serves your transportation needs, we know that it is one of your most important possessions.That's why you should have it regularly serviced by the experts atTRANSMISSIONS PLUS AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES.We inspect every system: brakes, electrical, A/C, transmission_everything!
