Imperial keeping it original.

[avlimited <anthony@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a 56 Imperial. It is a 4 door desert rose and white. It has the 
original color, never painted and the original interior.

I recently had to have the seats done. What I mean, is that I had tears in 
the black fabric on the front seat outer edge. Also the seats foam was 
gone, dryed out. I was able to get the original black material.  I then 
found the original coral Imperial cloth, even though the existing was very 
good I opted to have the seats Imperial cloth replaced. There is still 
black original cloth on the seats.

Now for the purists, my question, is it now considered a complete original 
interior?


My next task is to paint parts of the engine, valve covers, generator, air 
cleaner etc..


I would like to take the car to car shows can I state that it is an 
original since I had the seats done, and have painted the engine?
