The dash was yello also--is that correct for the convertibles for the dash to be the same color as the car? It's a nice strong #3 car but the seller wants $34K which I think is really high for that year/model convertible. Posted on: 2014/6/10 21:44

I was thinking it was wood grain dash. How expensive is it to have the dash restored to proper wood grain or leather grain? Also, who does that kind of thing? Lastly, is it hard to remove the dash? Can you tell I'm considering this?! Posted on: 2014/6/11 6:29

Per the parts book, the 23d series Super Victoria had either tan or red. The Customs also seemed to have some sort of graining, but it is not described. These are from the Tareshawty collection. Click the photos for much more detail. I think it is a very nice effect. Attach file:   (122.79 KB)   (115.34 KB) Posted on: 2014/6/11 10:01
