I have attached a photo of a 1941 120 sedan. Can someone advise me if the striped beige and brown pattern shown in this photo would have been available on 41 160's. I have seen a couple of samples from a dealer book but am curious if this pattern would be original to a 160.

Mark, it is my understanding that the Senior cars would have had less fancy colors. My father was the trimmer for Holbrook and often stated that the lesser cars needed to be 'dressed up' to give the impression of a better car, while the owners of the Seniors already knew what they were getting and didn't need the fancy colors. He also said that the thinking in those days was that the interior should not 'clash with the ladies gowns'. I would wait to see others views on the subject, but that is my understanding. John
