Interior material 55 Fleetwood

[Bob Kielar]

Hello all
                      I have a 55 Fleetwood with a trim code #81. I had the seats redone and put new carpet in as well all original. On the seats there is a gray flannel material is that is what supposed to be on the kick panels,door panels, and headliner ?

Thanks,
Bob Kielar

Bob,

Code 81 is light gray “V” cloth for the pleated sections with dark gray broadcloth bolsters. The door panels have dark and light gray broadcloth. I don’t know which areas are which. The headliner is light gray cotton cloth that looks like the broadcloth.

HTH,
Ralph

Bob,

Here are some color shots of two tone blue intereior that may be helpful. Your gray color interior should follow the same format. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1955-Fleetwood-Sixty-Special-Dark-Blue-38-000-mile-original-AC-/190588086079?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2c5fef673f#v4-41

Thanks Ralph,
                          I believe the light gray goes above the chrome trim piece and the dark below. Now to find the material.

Bob,

I bought the gray wool broadcolth for my '66 from Bill Hirsh. Top quality material and service. He offers many shades of gray to match the grays on your seat.
