Default Re: 1961 Suburban interior paint

Well, the seat is tan vinyl, like a 62 would have, which makes me wonder if it left the factory medium fawn instead of silver fawn. When I removed the dashboard to check the lights, it was DEFINITELY silver fawn behind the dash, so I agree it was that color when first it breathed life.

The more I think about this, the more this feels like fruitless speculation. I start to feel like I'm being more rigid than the factory was. I've seen the grey fabric for the '61s, and frankly the aqua fabric from the '62 will match my exterior color better, which will be Cape Blue.

In other words, since it's at least possible this was a late '61 which ended up being painted as a '62, and that works best for my plan, I'm seriously considering going down that path.
