Re: IML: bought 67 Mobile director and first 67 interior questions

[Christopher H <imperial67@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow, what a cool car.

Yes, white leather with black cloth was available, as you found out. I can
try to scan a page from the color and trim guide (but not this week, most
likely).

In a white interior, the dash pad was indeed black on top and white on the
bottom. The assist handle on the passenger side is correct for 1967 only.
(It was deleted during the enlargement of the dash pad for 1968.)

Love your biological descriptions of the car parts!! I have never seen
anyone with the Tensor lamps, only pix. Don't know why they never seemed to
stay with the car. The curse of things that plug in is that they unplug,
too. I knew someone that lost the headrests to a relatively modern car, so
anything is possible!

Please take pictures before, during and after. This is going to be a
stunning car!
