Thanks for the reply back, Mark and Theresa. In that the front seats were
reupholstered in leather, I am happy to stand corrected for calling it
vinyl. The upholstery work itself looked excellent in the photos. I think
that a glossy navy blue dye could be applied to more mimic the rear leather.
With that and some whitewalls, it could make someone a nice dual A/C car.

PS- I'm holding to the idea that the '66 T-Bird is full vinyl, though.

I would caution all that the plates on this "California High Desert" car
were issued in about 1998 (from the plate number and style), thus his
statement about the car's origin needs to be taken with about 3 pounds of
iodized salt. Caveat Emptor!
