Has anyone know what is the trim no. 478?
I guess this is a vinyl/cloth scheme, but no info about color combo...

Igor: There are 9 different 55 Desoto interior shown in the 55 Desoto brochure. None of them are numbered or named
but at least you can see them.

My guess is 478 would be this one:



*OR* this one:

478 has to be an error. It's not listed in the 55 Desoto Paint and Trim Book or in any other dealer-only interior documentation that I have.

It's a funny thing: the brochure says about 39 trim color combos, while the dealer book shows 23 combos including Coronado...

What did they say? GAY-colored???
