Bhigdog Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Does anyone know what type material ( if any ) was used to cover the rear seat deck (where the rear speaker is) on a 55 S-88? Was it cardboard, vinyl, etc and would the color match the interior or did they use a universal neutral color? Thanks.......Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJW Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Bob,give me the code # of your interior plus vin #. WJW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 Vin #558C10631. The car is (was) Grove Green and Polar White. My intention is to change the color to Regal Maroon and Polar White. The rear shelf is just bare metal now, hence my question. I also, at some point will need to know what interior color options were available with that combo and what the codes were. Thanks....Bob.

WJW Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Bob, there were 7 different interior color combs #311,312,314,315,317,318,319. Also if you didn not like Olds combs you could order what you wanted. That came to about 265 exterior and interior combos. Bob,get the Master Parts List of Body Parts for OLDSMOBILE 1949-1957 from Faxton in Calif about $30.00. Oh yes your back deck painted cardboard or leather (Bolster) to match your interior. 1955 was the FLYING COLORS year for OLDSMOBILE. WJW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
