As the The Upholstery Doctor, Tom Ducibella has been an enthusiastic car owner ever since his parents got a Pontiac Firebird in 1967 and he bought a new Fiat 124 spider in 1971.  While performing regular basic mechanical maintenance on his cars, he found that “servicing” the upholstery and interior was more challenging, since few shops specialized in small repairs on classic sports cars.  In order to maintain his own original upholstery (some of it 30 years old), he bought a professional upholstery machine in the early 1990s and has used it for projects on his own and for a wide variety of other classic cars (see Past Projects).  Having been involved in the restoration of his own and others’ vehicles, he has been both a concours participant and judge over the years.
