Mick;
You are lucky, most people have the exact opposite
problem in that they can find the vinyl but not the matching leather. When you
say pearl finish I assume you mean the kind that has a metallic sheen to it,
correct? Don't go by the colours in the Jacquard fabric to match the vinyl, the
cloth and the vinyl were likely made by two different manufacturers and were
more then likely picked to complement one another. If you don't have any of the
original vinyl to go by then all that you have to do is find a vinyl that
matches the leather in colour and finish.
Have a look through the Imperials by Year section on
the club website to see how most of the seats were upholstered in these 58's.
The vinyl that you seek is available through most upholstery shops over here
because it was used in many different cars from the 50's to the 70's. To answer
your question I highly doubt whether Chrysler used special vinyl for Imperials, more then likely the used it in some other cars but
just gave the colour a different name. Fortunatelly I don't have this problem as
I still have the original upholstery to go by and black is black when it comes
to the seats.
