Does anyone have photos of the 3-material interior option for the 1957 Firesweep Sportsman 2-door hardtop?
This interior was available in Code 514 (blue), Code 515 (green), and Code 516 (black and gray).
This option included a combination of two colours of vinyl and one, nubby fabric which I think was called "nugget tweed fabric"? - this fabric is a nubby weave of white and gold threads mixed in with the main body colour of the fabric.
One vinyl is a plain, flat vinyl. The second vinyl has dielectric "stripes" stamped into it (I know it's not a stamping process, but for lack of a better term...). I think that the "stripes" are placed vertically on the tops of the door panels, and horizontally along the top parts of the seats?
I have found some photos on Ed's site which have been helpful. Anybody have this interior? Does the "nubby" fabric hold up?
