Which wood is this supposed to imitate?
I have the original big Dealer Sales Album, but there is no mention about the "Wood Grain" at all.I was just going to say it looks like a Walnut. Check sales brochure for a discription.
Are these available today?Alternatives that are close and/or look good in my opinion are the following I found:

Indeed, that seems to be what @Boydsdodge referred to! But unfortunately "Crossfire Walnut" seem to be a made up name by Chrysler because I can't find anything under that name.Not sure if this helps, mentions the 'simulated wood trim': https://www.web.imperialclub.info/Yr/1969/Brochure/Pages03-04Big.jpg
It looks a lot like mahogany to me.
The pattern is probably based on a "Figured American Walnut" or possibly a "Figured Black Walnut".

If I mess with the contrast and brightness to simulate a darker stain, it gets pretty close.

I have a contact for a wood veneer manufacturer here in the US. They would be much less expensive in the range of $75 to $150 per yard plus shipping. This is a real wood product with a reinforced backing like that used for fine furniture. It is an NBL (No Black Line) product. This means if two pieces are joined at a sharp angle no black line is visible. It is flexible enough for compound curves. I believe they have over 100 species of wood. You will have to add the final finish, this allows you to adjust/match color. The down side is you will need templates. Easy to cut with anI guess I have to choose one of the ones I like and change it on all the parts throughout the interior.
I really like the Plum Wood, especially in my Deep Plum Imperial! But I ain't paying >$3000 for an entire roll :/
Maybe I'll find another vendor...
