Hi friends,
Can someone educate me about the interior of my 54 Champion coupe? The production order for this car does not refer to an interior color. The original exterior colors were chadron red with velvet black roof. The car was repainted long ago inside and out to a metallic blue. The interior now appears to be original upholstery. It is white vinyl and green fabric. Can this be correct with a red and black car? How were interior colors determined upon manufacture as there is no notation on the production order? Is there possibly a code on a tag hiding somewhere? Also, how were the metal surfaces like the dash finished? Body exterior color? I've had this car and have been driving it regularly for 10 years but now it is crying to be restored and I would like to return it to as it was originally delivered.
Thanks in advance for all your wise studebakerly council on this.
Dennis
