Yeah. That upholstery is way off for that Patrician. There was NO maroon broadcloth offered for the 1951-54 models. The 504 code refers to the maroon cloth used on the Custom sedan of the 23rd series. It seems strange since the ads of the time showed quite plainly a red broadcloth with blue, green and the tan with stripes broadcloths. There were ads with Dorothy Draper and in 54 to "Skipper the Clipper" showing those flowing cloths in vivid color.
