I haven't seen many 1800s period, let alone ones with power seats or windows. Not to say they don't exist. I'm hardly an expert at these cars. There are a lot of guys at Brickboard who will know the answer. I like the look of your interior. By the pics it appears as if the doorpanels are very nice. I would try to maintain that red look. Black carpet wouldn't be the worst thing with the red interior. I have a 242 with the same color scheme as your car. I know the hell of trying to get red interior pieces.

Re: the rotisserie resto. That's a pretty costly option. All the guys I know have done them themselves. Basically you're taking every single part off the car and mounting the shell on a spit. You can then spin it and work easily on all surfaces including underneath. There was a thread re that on brickboard. Try a search using "rotisserie".

Your daily driver plan sounds fine if the car is up to it. Gather up parts and when you're ready-have at it. Good luck. nice car!
