Here's a easy one... Is my 1952 M38 supposed to have canvas or vinyl seats?

To date it appears that both may have been used during M38 production. The A1 was introduced in spring 1952 with a lot of bragging by Willys marketing on it's new vinyl seat covers.

Seems to me that allot of them came with Canvas but replacement seats were in vinyl...

My '51 M38 has canvas seats. I can't confirm that the covering is original but from the condition of the material and the stuffing and springs, I'd bet that the canvas has been there for 60 years.
