Gene Tareshawty in Ohio has two 49 (23 Series)Super Deluxe convertibles with the original goatskin grain on the dash. 22nd series convertibles seemed to have painted dashes.

51 and 52 300s and Patricians had either silver-grey or tan dashes with a sort of burlap or basketweave pattern on the glovebox face and the panel just to the right of it. The door window reveals were painted the same as the dash, but the lower raised panel of the reveals had the same basketweave on them. Always thought it looked a bit incongruous.

The 200 sedans were all silver grey in 51 and gunmetal in 52 with window reveals to match.
