Location: So. Cal		I just picked up an Upholstery and Exterior Color Combinations book for the '58 Chrysler. This one doesn't have fun transparencies of cars to change the colors on, but it has a lot of good fabric & paint color info that I thought I would share here. The first few pages are devoted to the allowable color combinations. You could probably get a custom ordered combo if you wished though, so I don't think it was absolute.

The color code is as follows:
A: Raven Black
B: Stardust Blue
C: Air Force Blue Metallic
D: Midnight Blue
E: Spring Green
F: Cypress Green Metallic
H: Aztec Turquoise
J: Spruce Metallic
K: Satin Gray
L: Winchester Gray Metallic
M: Mesa Tan
N: Sandalwood Metallic
O: Tahitian Coral
P: Matador Red
R: Shell Pink
U: Bamboo Yellow
X: Ermine White
Z: Champagne Gold

Location: So. Cal		The second section lists the fabrics for the Windsor wagons. This fabric is really neat. The white spots you see here are really silver metallic thread that looks great weaved through the fabric like it is.

Location: So. Cal		Whereas, the Saratoga hardtops receive a metallic vinyl instead - except the red color. That one doesn't have a metallic look to it.

Location: So. Cal		The New Yorker received a really neat "Fontainebleau" fabric that looks elegant with the patterns sewn into the seats. The New Yorker sedans were accompanied with an even softer bolster cloth than what the Saratoga sedans used.

Location: So. Cal		A Windsor sedan could have been ordered with an optional all-vinyl interior for the kid-centric consumers to improve the wear factor.

Super cool, Nathan! 

And so rare.  Thanks for sharing images.  These are things that regular people just don't get to see.

You said a mouthful, Nathan!  Bob in Austrailia sent several images to me of his '58 De Soto colors and fabrics book.  Maybe we should start a new sticky thread for images of these books?  Great resource material and ooo la la, difficult to obtain.

Look at how beautiful that metallic vinyl and patterned vinyl is on page 24!  I don't think SMS on their best day could reproduce it.

Location: So. Cal		Yes, and it looks much better in person than in the photo. The scanner isn't able to capture the metallics very well. I'm also taken aback at how good the '58 Windsor red/gray fabrics look together. That would look stunning with a good pattern to lay it onto.
