Re: [FWDLK] 1955 Desoto Question

[Jan & Roger van Hoy <vanhilla@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fireflite convertibles had an all leather option.  Not sure about hardtops. 
Leather, not vinyl on Fireflites, with a curved [scrolled] front seat back 
top; vinyl/cloth on Firedome hardtops, not sure of there was an all-vinyl 
convertible option.  Apparently there was an all-vinyl convertible option in 
'56.

But-- if it looks good, would it's lack of authenticity be a deal-breaker? 
The gosh-awful cloth on '55 Fireflite Sportsmans doesn't deserve to be 
saved.

Any other questions, drop me a note.
