P15 interior colors, call for photos

[fede]

Hello!,

 

I would like to ask you for a bit of help.  My car, an export DeSoto SP15 equal to a Plymouth P15, finally is on a body shop to be repaired and painted.  Hopefully upholstery will be done too.

The car doesn't have its original interior, and we're having some doubts about the colors to use (the exterior of the car is black) for the seats, and mainly the roof liner, dash and upper part of the doors (around the windows).

 

So, if anyone here who owns a P15 with an original interior (or redone with the original colors, or something close to that to get some ideas) and can post a few photos of the dash, roof, doors and seats, that would be of great help!

 

 

 

Thanks! and greetings from Uruguay!

This interior was redone as close to original as is possible. Car is owned by David Maxwell.

Beautiful interior.

Thanks for the photos, it looks great!

 

The man from the body shop suggested to do something like the attached photos (the car is a 30s ford v8).  But I'm not sure about it, specially the brown on the windows since that would also be the color of the dash.

Fede,

You may want to find a copy of Hemmings Classic Car July 2010 it has an article about your Desoto.
