22nd or 23rd series? 23rd series is "mahogany", 22nd series is lighter. The 22nd series Custom Eight is"'pearwood" I have also seen pictures of cars that had a gray pattern, perhaps color coded to exterior color if original. Do you have access to a parts book? That would be a start. Regards John Harley

Yellowstone! I bet it looks great this time of year.
I did a deep solid ruddy brown on my dash and window moldings, it came out shiny and great if he doesn't want to spring for the woodgraining.

thanks for the feedback. I'll talk to him and get the serial number, plus hopefully there will be a bit of the woodgraining left behind the chrome plates, or under the dash so we can match it. I'll post some photos later.
PS - Yellowstone is getting a record snowfall this winter, 180" as of last week. Should be a great year for the wildflower shots.

I am fortunate that my 23rd series Deluxe 8 has original woodgraining in many places so it can be copied. I have not yet found a person to do the job however. My spare dash is a candidate for woodgraining and then I can replace the original ugly one. The top of the dash is another problem unless I take the whole car apart.

Have you tried cleaning it with furniture cleaner and then put a fresh coat of polyurtheane?
