I bought the raw fabric from SMS. They will send you samples based upon what colour and pattern. Mine was a dead correct match.

Console shift delete - for 3 on the tree cars, or cars that wanted a console without the actual shifter. I have two of those plates tucked away.

"Built to Canadian specs but I have not discovered it for '65 cars yet; and, last, The car would have had a speedometer/odometer calibrated in kilometers. " Ummm, nope. KMs were not used in Canada until the late seventies. All four of my Canadian C bodies did not say "Built to Canadian specs"...

Built for sale in Canada. My 66 Chrysler Town and Country station wagon was built in Jefferson for sale in Regina Saskatchewan.

At this point they are not available. You can likely by the basic extrusion, and just cut off the moulded ends from your originals and glue them on. That's what I did way back when, when I restored my first C body - NOTHING was available then! Just make sure you align the tab holes for...

Beautiful! We want to see pictures!!!

Yes.

I couldn't find it either.

Is that from your service manual? That looks like an aftermarket Ditzler printout. Best to get the code from the actual Chrysler service manual. Keep in mind that it may be true that it was a semi gloss finish, and that the suede finish you're finding may have been applied by someone during...
