SEMA 2014: Legendary Auto Interiors Lives Up To Its Name

RE_04You can modify an engine, swap out the tires, upgrade the suspension, and add a swell new paint job to any car in existence–but if it runs in a dingy, old, uncomfortable interior, who the heck will ever want to ride in it? Like it or not, cars are meant to be used and driven, but without the right insides, they might as well be stuck in an unmarked warehouse.

Enter Legendary Auto Interiors. The company from Newark, New York has been in the business of crafting well-made, luxurious seats and interior accessories for the better part of 30 years, and shows no signs of stopping. We talked with president Martin Beckenbach to get a better sense of what was new, hot, and ready to ship.

“We’re proud to announce that our floormat line is being retooled, and we’re also introducing over 200 new inserts for several makes and models,” said Beckenbach. “The 1977-80 Firebird is receiving some attention as well, as we’re reproducing the original Hobnail and Lombardy cloth for the Trans Am seats.”

The musclecar love continues with other products, as Beckenbach pointed out: “In the works, we have package trays that will match all the original colors of Chrysler and GM vehicles, as well as door pull straps for 1970-72 GM A-bodies and F-bodies.”

In the here and now, the company had some lovely seats on display, including a bright red Trans Am bucket seat. “This is the Hobnail/Lombardi design, all identical to the ones you would have seen on the showroom floor back in the late 70s,” explained Beckenbach.

This was but a small glimpse into the company’s massive catalogue of interior items, however. Should the desire to up your musclecar’s aesthetics ever strike you, do yourself a favor and check out all that Legendary Auto Interiors has to offer by visiting them online or giving them a call with the provided contact information below.
