The Levi's interior was used until 1978, 100 AMXs had them in last year,
don't know how many, if any, Gremlin sported that option. Most of the 78
AMX's did not appear blue, but black for some reason, I have always thought
it was a supplier problem, but do not know, maybe someone can elaborate
further on this.
For those of you who have a Levi's Gremlin, Hornet, or Concord, the seat
material is commonly found at hobby stores like hobby Lobby, Michael's, even
Wal Mart. You can buy rolls of it. Very sturdy stuff similiar to original
which was not original demin. You can also buy those little Levi's buttons
too at these stores, makes for a easy task to redo your seats, and door
panels. The factory Press Photo enclosed here shows the Levi's interior in
the upper left. Would be a nice photo if not for the disco dork looking at
the chick. If you can get past the blonde, note the roofline, which is a
Gremlin.

There is another problem with real cotton denim. It bleeds blue. Look at the
color difference between a brand new pair of Levis and a pair that has been
washed several times. My brother-in-law liked the AMC Levis interiors so
much that he made a set of snap-on seat covers for his Ford Econoline work
van with real cotton denim from the fabric store. If anyone wearing a light
color pair of pants rode for any length of time in that van the pants
started to turn blue. Jerry was a painter, and usually wore those white or
unbleached natural cotton painter's pants or overalls. After a few months
all of his work pants had blue butts. After he finally took the seat covers
off and washed them a few times, they shrank so much that they almost
wouldn't go back on the seats.
