Location: WA/USA | Can someone help me identify/confirm the interior color/pattern for my 57 Coronet? I purchased the car out of a field and the headliner, seats, and carpet were gone. It had black and gold door cards in it, the dash is black and gold, and the interior garnishes are black.... so it appears to have been black and gold? Seems to be a weird color match to a white/turquoise car to me...... Here is the data tag:
M5: 1
Seq No. 1407
SO:0726
NO: 5061
Model: D661
BT: 2142
TP: LML
TR: 110
Lastly... anyone have a photo of the original seats in this pattern and color? I have since found a correct front seat and maybe the correct frame/springs for the back seat, but I need something to show my upholsterer. I'm not going stock perfect, but want it as close as I can with readily available materials.

Location: So. Cal | I believe that 110 is indeed gold vinyl with "Silver Strata" fabric like in this picture.

You should post a photo of the car and the cowl data tag to help us help you.
From a 57 Dodge trim info thread that I started (with lots of others including LD3_Greg and frwl contributing):
"110 = Pellon Vinyl and Silver Strata Fabric – Gold and Black"
Where Silver Strata:

From the 57 Dodge body style thread that I started (with lots of others including LD3_Greg and frwl contributing):
2142 = 57 Dodge Coronet V8 2 door sedan:

Paint: LML = Glacier White and Turquoise
So something like this?

M5: 1 = no authentic info: perhaps it is a Left Outside Rearview Mirror;
Your car built at LA plant – because M-codes are present;
Seq No. 1407 = the 7th car built on the scheduled day (July 26, 1957);
SO: 0726 = Shipping Order July 26, 1957;
NO: 5061
Model: D661 = 1957 Dodge Coronet equipped with V8 engine;
BT: 2142 = Body Type is 2 Door Sedan;
TP: LML = Roof and Fins are Glacier White color; M = Turquoise Saddle color and third «L» is Glacier White Lower color;
TR: 110 = Trim is a Silver and Black
I have some pictures of Dodge with Trim Code 110 below (sorry for bad resolution); it has Silvery Black upholstery…

"Show? ", maybe no. "List"?. Absolutely. They all list AAA as "Jewel Black DQE-9000-DAL" , in words. No "photo" of black.

Location: WA/USA | Yes, under about 6 layers of black (twice), blue, green, and whites, it was originally the opposite of that one (White/Turquoise/White). I don't think it would help to post a photo of the body tag as it is not very easy to see ... I had to read the back to even have a chance of interpretation.
Thanks for all the info. Black/gold/silver interior on a white and turquoise car would not be my choice if I was a designer. It seems like an odd combination. I'll have to ponder this...
Here is the car in its current state. Floor pans are in. Took a break from rust repair to build the frame and suspension .....now done. Back to body rust repair hell next week (trunk pan, rockers, door bottoms). Maybe laying paint this summer?
