Re: Vinyl vs canvas seats
The canvas is more forgiving on the posterior -- vinyl well just think hot summer day -- car ... should answer that question right off The silver canvas will look a lot nicer.

Re: Vinyl vs canvas seats
When I restored my Super A I went with the black vinyl seat because they didn't offer black canvas. (The seats were black in 47-48-49ish) I like the vinyl because it is easy to clean. From a distance you can't tell it's vinyl....

Re: Vinyl vs canvas seats
I have canvas and vinyl seat covers on my cubs. For looks the vinyl ones are nice, but on a cold day they are really cold when you first set down on them, and on a hot day, if ou drive them very long your posterior will sure get sweaty. For daily use I prefer the canvas.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
