Not much done today. Found a can of "Easy-Off" Oven Cleaner under the kitchen sink which no one will miss since I redid the kitchen and installed a chest high self cleaning wall mounted oven. Wasn't sure if it was still any good, but took it out to the garage anyway and sprayed down the greasiest/dirtiest parts of the engine. The foam came out the way it should and looked about right when it hit the engine but we'll have to see about that tomorrow.
I've been looking at the trim options for the '51 Patricians. I can't seem to find what the difference is between the 500 trim codes (501,502,503) and the 600 codes (601, 602, 603). I know the 503 code uses dark blue seats and pleated trim while the 501 denotes an orange/beige seats and pleated trim and I strongly suspect that 502 is the same thing in green. The only thing I can think of is that the "600" codes mean the same colors but with leather.
If I had been around to order the car new, I would have ordered the 501 as I like the "warmth" of those colors as opposed to the dark blue and grey. I looked through the literature but my search came up empty. Can anyone point me to where I can find the answers?
Since almost everything needs to be replaced I'm giving serious thought to changing the interior to the 501. The only thing giving me pause is that all the surviving '51 Pats I've seen either in pictures or in the flesh have the 501. If the 503 is rare, it would be one thing that would make keep the original colors.
My thanks to everyone who has helped with this projects and in advance on this question.
