Location: little rock, AR | It wouldn't matter to me what it is. It is a 4dr HT named Pea-Tunia!!! Is it a TF or a PF??? I would find the correct fabric for the inserts and call it good. Clean it and buff it out and Let the Good Times Roll !!!

Not sure at this time, Will know when I see it... I would say Royal 'cause of the seat cloth. Marc. |

Nice Find! Are those original OEM floor mats too? (I know someone who is looking for a set of those and will pay a lot for 'em...ME!) Hope you get it. You'll have fun restoring this one. Can't wait to see it at the car shows.

Location: Newark, Texas (Fort Worth) | Grand Prairie? I was there.... yesterday!
I picked this up at Lone Stat Park Swap Meet. It's not for this car since it has factory air. Marc

Location: Grand Prairie TX - Dallas Area | Yup, I was at the swap meet too. Nice find!
I picked through a box full of old 57 and 59 parts and found a couple of mirrors (yup, with all the options my 59 Dodge has, it did not come with mirrors) and a two speed fan control for the factory A/C system (mine was broken). I found a couple of Mopar Vendors who have some old Exner-era parts which I'll share with you later (the Vendor contacts, not the parts).
