Uh, folks, I really don't think that interior is all that original. I'm, guessing it was done in the seventies.

Note the tan and somewhat shiny carpet in the back.Not hogshair. The windlace is covered with broadcloth, not a patterned cloth. Welting around the edge of the seatback is cloth, not leatherette, color of the bedford cord on the seats is odd relative to the other colors, and the cushions are very rounded and lumpy--something that never happened at the factory in my experience. Also, I have some real doubts about the woodgraining, lovely as it is.

I still love the car, but truly don't think that it is an untouched original.
