Working with a large upholstery manufacturer, we have re-created the 1982 GM Camel Tan Parella cloth, found in 1982 Pontiac Trans Am! This is also the same fabric used in K.I.T.T. for the 1980's television series "Knight Rider"!

We spent months working with the manufacturer to ensure that the color, feel and pattern were identical to the original material. However, we wanted to take it one step further. The biggest complaint we hear about the original fabric is that it is so thin, that it doesn't hold up as the years go by. We asked our manufacturer what they could do about that, and the result is a material that looks and feels identical to the original, but is 20% thicker! The original fabric weighs in at about 105 grams per square meter (gsm). Ours is 160 gsm. This will help your fabric stay looking new longer.

Additionally, for each yard you buy, you are getting more for your money. The original rolls of Parella fabric were 48" wide; ours are 60". That's over an extra 3 feet of material per yard ordered!

This is the first time that this fabric has been re-created. New Old Stock (NOS) material has nearly been exhausted and costs twice as much as ours. Additionally, the aftermarket seat covers available feature a velour material that is MUCH lighter than the factory material.

The original Parella cloth came from GM’s manufacturer in a “neutral” color that was then dyed to whatever shade was needed. As such, the GM Camel Tan color can vary slightly depending on the lot it came from. In our research, we gathered six sets vintage PMD seat covers that used the original Camel Tan Parella. We chose the shade that we felt best represented the original. As such, if you hold our material up against original Parella cloth, you may notice a slight difference in shading.

The price listed below is for 1 yard. You will need at least 9 yards to cover the front & rear seats and the door panels. We recommend purchasing 10 yards, so you have extra should you get a tear or stain down the road.

If you are within the USA, we will ship your fabric on a roll. The average shipping cost within the U.S. for 10 yards on a roll is $29.97.

If outside the USA, it is much more economical to ship the fabric gently folded in a box. However, if you want it shipped on a roll, we can accommodate, but it will be significantly more expensive. Shipping 10 yards in a box to Europe costs, on average, approximately $60, while shipping the same amount of fabric on a roll costs about $130.

Please note that these shipping costs are estimates. Your actual cost may be higher or lower depending on the quantity ordered and your mailing address.
