Beech V35B Bonanza – Vintage-Inspired Interior Restoration
The Project
This interior transformation saw Generation Global supply and install a highly customized cabin refurbishment for a classic V-tail Beech V35B Bonanza. The goal was to restore this iconic aircraft’s interior to its former glory, while introducing a retro-inspired aesthetic that blends timeless elegance with modern comfort.
Drawing inspiration from vintage styling cues, the design featured distressed leather and warm autumnal tones, creating a space that is both nostalgic and luxurious.
