I want to thank everyone for this tremendous resource. My name is Ryan Hieber and I just joined the forum tonight and while I hate to start off this way, I was hoping someone might be able to point me to anyone that might be able to help me out with a problem we are facing. We inherited what is titled as a 1959 but from the heritage what we have discovered is a 1958 BN6. This car was a total barn find and was without much of an interior to speak of aside from moldy red carpet and a white dash. No seats, no door cards, etc.
We had a heritage done and it was determined to be a Colorado red car with red carpet and grey trim with red piping. From our research the "grey" trim is more like a parchment colored beige so this coincides with what was under the dirt and grime on the dash. However, we are at a loss as to what the color the seats and door cards would have been. Would they have been red with white / "grey" piping or vice-versa? There doesn't seem to be much in the way of an example in this color combination anywhere so photos of this combo would be a true blessing.
Being my grandfather's car it is important for us to try to be as original as possible and being a family project my mother is adamant on seeing a photo before giving her approval on such a interior combination. Could anyone reccomend any books or resources who could possibly know for sure and possibly have photographs? Thank you all any help is truly appreciated!
sincerely,
Ryan Hieber
