I have the dealer sample book for 1966, with large paint chips, upholstery, vinyl top and convertible top samples. There was only one white, which would have been leather with a pearlescent finish. The door panels and top were vinyl, and would not have that finish. I have the original pearlescent-finish leather in my '66 Crown, so as long as your seats have the pattern of those in this convertible once owned by Chris Hawkins, http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1966/Hawkins/66convert/index.htm , I'd say you are fine. You neglected to mention what color the car is, though white seats were available with all paint colors. Black carpet & dash was offered with all paint colors except the three blues (Powder Blue, Crystal Blue, and Regal Blue). Blue carpet and dash was offered with those blues plus Silver Mist, Formal Black, and Persian White. Hope that helps. I have the paint codes and trim codes, if you want something more exact.

Several owners back the interior was removed (reason unklnown) and the next owner, while starting a 'restoration' on the car, put in another interior, which is the current 'pearlescent white' now in the vehicle. The door panels and convert. top are WHITE. Is there any way that I can find out just what color interior (WHITE vs. PEARLESCENT WHITE) this car had in it from the factory? I am looking into replacing the complete interior but would like to do the 'factory original' thing instead of guessing at what was there in the first place!? > Any hints are greatly appreciated.
