ORIGINAL 1969 POLARA CHP RESURECTION

I think the dark strip on the front of the seat in the data book picture is a shadow.

It could be...but the lap belts may show other wise. The description also mentions 2 interior options...

I’m not trying to be argumentative here, I just want to undersand what is correct for the CHP Polaras!

I’ll likely go like your car Alan, it would be cool to see some more period photos etc...

 

[MrMoparCHP]

Here is about the only picture I have of the front seat before?

Awesome! Thanks man!!

 

[MrMoparCHP]

Here is a period picture, it was about the CHP spec retractable shoulder belts.

Alan, what are your thoughts on the grey vinyl and black seat material that SMS provided? They assured me it is the correct “fleet” material for 1969 CHP.

 

[MrMoparCHP]

Not the best,

Alan

 

[MrMoparCHP]

I think the two interior options were tan or gray.


Alan

 

[MrMoparCHP]

Hard to tell in a picture but I felt the stuff I got from SMS was spot-on.

I see...that makes sense, I just want to do it right.

Alan

Got it..they actually mentioned you and your car in the process of selecting the “right stuff” for fleet CHP.

 

[MrMoparCHP]

never mind, no Tijuana tuck-n-roll


Alan

 

[MrMoparCHP]

I have some of the silver-green material for the b-pillar for you.

The above photo with the lower seat having, cloth then vinyl then a small cloth section befor terminating to the seat front/base.

Second is mentioned as “optional Full heavy duty vinyl” which I think the CHP used, but I’m not sure.

I’ve looked at Alan’s and Ron’s CHP Units, and in period photos from the day. Those cars have just a “single” vinyl section on the seat base and not 2 sections per the Dodge Dealer Data Book.

Question which is correct for CHP Pursuit Polaras???

Where did you find the rubber flooring?
