1965 Polara interior

[waterguy]

hey guys! I recently inherited my grandfathers Polara. This big girl is all stock and I want to keep that way as much as I can. The interior though is bugging me. I'd like to find the material or the name used for the door panels as well as the front bench. I am having trouble nailing down the dark brown color. I am also looking for two front arm rest laid with the dark brown vinyl. I have seen a lot on eBay in black but nothing in brown. Think anyone can help me out or guide me in the right direction?

Although I have a '65 I bought from my grandfather as well, I am no help to you as to your question, for mine is blue. I must say that from what little you have shown yours looks to be in nice condition.

I wish you luck, and hope someone will be of help.

Largest Selection of Cloth, Vinyl & Leather Automobile Upholstery - SMS Auto Fabrics

These guys have the largest selection of NOS and reproduction material on the planet and if they don't have it they can reproduce original material from a sample for big $$$ if that is what you want.

I have dealt with them and it was a smooth timely transaction but be forewarned their customer service doesn't get glowing reviews from everyone. Shipping delays and lack of communication seem to top the list.

Their material IMHO is top notch.

thanks 1rstmopar! she is a beauty and i am loving it. I am in the process of cleaning up the exterior. As soon as i am done ill post some more pictures. It has been sitting for awhile so it needs some help.

thanks Kevin! I emailed them earlier this week and also sent some pictures. I am heading out of town this week and in no rush. I will start bothering them once I return!

Looks like getting NOS of the door panel fabric is impossible. I know it's trim code L4T so I'll stay on the lookout. As for the arm rest I may have a couple leads. Has anyone ever done a vinyl repair on door panels? I'd really like to keep her as original as possible so if I can some how bring some life back into the sundried material that would be great. The driver side has a lot more wear than the passenger side. I have seen a few threads regarding the whole door panel being repaired but these only need help on the very top. Any input would be great. This car is a blast! My two young ones love jumping around on the front bench! Thanks for all the help!!

I was able to find a brown driver side arm rest, Part # was 1217AT8, Marty was able to hook me up. Does anyone by chance have any leads on a passenger side armrest? thanks for the help! This ole girl has been keeping me busy!
