OK I love this car, I wished I could have afforded it 20 years ago and how she must have looked off the show room floor. Does anyone know where I can get some nice seat covers that will for sure fit this car. 86 Mark VII lsc. I went to the local upholstry shop and was quoted $500.00 to redo the fronts in leather. My budget is about half that and less if my wife finds out before I get them. So I'm looking for quality covers?

Congratulations and Yeah ... most of us DO love our Marks!
Dude.
You sound like you're in the "30-50 year old married with children and a love of Mark VIIs" crowd so I'll pull your coat to this;
To see what our seats looked like when new, go to:

I came home one day and Mrs.OldSchool had bought and installed these on the seats of my 1990:

Unknown cost but I know that she shops at Target (pronounced Tarjay) and that they fit perfectly and are low cost enough for her to say, "If you tear them up I'll get you another set." She bought and installed two sets!
Take (more) pictures and let us know how you make out and what you decide to do.

Those fit petty good. I bet if you used some upholstry tape on the back side you might be able to get a very snug fit to the point it might look custom fitted.

Didn't think of that.
Thanks!
