Subject: [FWDLK] 1958 New Yorker door panels
> I've asked my upholstery shop to re-do the door panels on my 1958
> Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country wagon. They were hoping I
> could locate ready-made door panels and seat covers, but calls to
> Original Auto Interiors and Legendary Auto Interiors confirm that
> there is no such thing for 58 New Yorkers.
>
> So, "Plan B" is re-use the good parts of my door panels, and
> replace the rest.
>
> Now, here's the problem: on the front door panels, the lowest
> portion is vinyl, with six silver mylar (?) hash marks,
> apparently made of some kind of heat-embossed plastic tape (?),
> which have a pattern (heat-embossed?) in them.
>
> I'm kinda hoping that 1958 300Ds have the same item, since that
> would raise the probability that such a thing is obtainable.
>
> Does anybody know if such a thing is available, or what solution
> is commonly used by the multitudes of 1958 New Yorker owners?
>
> The seat covers also have a Chrysler emblem heat-embossed into a
> vinyl section of the seat backs. Again, not available from the
> two sources mentioned above.
> What should we do here?
>
> Finally, the cargo-area side panels should be vinyl, but with
> heat-embossed horizontal lines in them. Aside from finding a dull
> pizza cutter and heating it up with a torch, how do we reproduce
> this appearance?
>
> Thanks for your thoughts.
>
> Oh, and if anybody has the stainless steel side trim for a 1967
> Pontiac Catalina Wagon, please contact me off the list.
