Replying to: andre1969 (Jul 05, 2009 7:05 am) Yeah, I think the seat inserts match the lighter blue part of the door panels, below the darker blue ribbed vinyl.   What would that thing have in it, like a 394?   I will say I like that color combo a lot...the exterior color reminds me of the "diamond blue" of my old W126...a color that doesn't seem to work well on most modern cars...or it is seen very seldom anyway.

Replying to: fintail (Jul 05, 2009 3:16 pm) That car pictures is a Ninety-Eight. But the seats don't match the Ninety-Eight cloth seats. I think they are a seat cover. They also don't match some of the Eighty-Eight's seats. I would guess they are good quality seat cover.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 05, 2009 3:39 pm) The pattern doesn't look much different from in this brochure (they have vertical lines, just hard to see)...it isn't the best pic, I will admit. I wish I could find a pic of the seatbacks - but I didn't think of it, and the seller isn't big time enough to have a website.

Replying to: fintail (Jul 05, 2009 4:05 pm) But the blue car has rib marks in the plastic between the cloth. The one in the brochure does not have that longitudinal rib marking, it's plain. I can see the rectangles in the blue car on the door as in the brochure car. None of the cloth seats, 88's or 98's have that longitudinal rib.   We're going to have to ask you to stop by there when the place is open for business and inspect the car for us!

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 05, 2009 6:20 pm) Oh, do you mean the sewn in vertical lines in the middle of the bench seat, in the darker blue vinyl? That didn't even catch my eye til now.   The blue car had vertical sewn lines in the inserts like the brochure....the insert cloth also seemed kind of wrinkled, I don't know if that was a factory texture or an age issue.   I won't be down there again for about 8 weeks probably...but it might still be there. I'll make an offer on your behalf

#16672 of 17968 Speaking of 4-door hardtops... by lemko Jul 06, 2009 (5:37 am)
...I spotted a 1963 Chevrolet Impala 4-door hardtop, red with a white roof. Seems the 2-door hardtops are common, but you don't often see an Impala 4-door hardtop of this vintage. Replies to this message: fintail (Jul 06, 2009 9:15 am)

Replying to: texases (Jul 06, 2009 5:16 am) I saw one of those in Vancouver once, and it was being driven. It sounded like a hyper chainsaw.

Replying to: lemko (Jul 06, 2009 5:37 am) I remember the father on "The Wonder Years" had a 63 Impala 4 door HT before it was replaced by a big 69 Ford sedan.
