MONTEBELLO, Calif., March 22, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The automotive aftermarket industry's leading manufacturer of leather interiors, Katzkin Leather, Inc., has signed a licensing agreement with Rawlings(r), supplier of baseballs and baseball gloves to Major League Baseball and to sporting goods stores throughout the world. With this agreement in hand, Katzkin has introduced an exciting, comprehensive vehicle appearance package for the 2007 Chevy Silverado and Tahoe, the Rawlings(r) Edition, available through their network of more than 2000 restylers across North America.

At the heart of Katzkin's Rawlings(r) Edition are the leather seats, made from genuine baseball glove leather, for the look, feel, and even the smell of a real baseball glove. For added visual impact, the leather panels are sewn with a zigzag baseball stitch and the seats are finished off with the famous red embroidered Rawlings(r) patch found on the back of all their gloves.
Hardcore baseball fans, don't worry, we're just at the start of the line-up. Two other interior items enhance this package -- a wood dash and a wood steering wheel, both with the appearance of baseball bat wood, ash -- with the Rawlings(r) logo in black on the passenger side of the dash.
And to let everyone know what you've got on the inside, Katzkin is offering a number of exterior options with the Rawlings(r) Edition. There's a pair of chrome badges for each side of your Chevy. On the back, a hitch box cover, featuring the Rawlings(r) red oval, plugs the receiver. Finally, up front, a stainless steel grille in a backstop fence pattern brings the package home.
Whether you're a professional ball player, a little league coach, or just a sofa super fan, Katzkin's new Rawlings(r) Edition is here just in time for the season opener. For more information, contact Katzkin at www.katzkin.com.
