1951 Plymouth Upholstery

I am restoring my 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook and I have some doubts about the upholstery details.<P>My car is dark blue and the dashboard is gray. The current colour of the seats is brown, and it is made of leather. I would like to know what the colour and materials this car used originally in its upholstery.<P>Regards,<BR>Julio Albernaz

The color was gray,I think it was a bedford cord meterial.

The one 1951 Plymouth that I am familiar with that has its original interior has a grey bedford cord. If I recall correctly it has some thin stripes in the seat material. There may have been some options for other materials and colors. I am not familiar enough with that vintage to say for sure.<P>If you are interested, I could give the owner a call and see if I could go over and take some pictures for you.<P>------------------<BR><A HREF="http://www.ply33.com" TARGET=_blank>Plymouth: The First Decade</A>

What is bedford cord material ? Is it somekind of leatherette ?<P>About the design of the seats upholstery: is it plain ? What are the colour differences between the roof, seats, door panels,...?<P>Is the gray dark or light ?<P>Regards,<BR>Julio

Bedford cord is a type of wool cloth. It sounds like you need some photographs. I will give that car owner a call and see if I can't go over and get some photographs for you.<P>I am pretty sure his car is a 51. Might be a 50 or 52 though...<P>------------------<BR><A HREF="http://www.ply33.com" TARGET=_blank>Plymouth: The First Decade</A>
