Fireflite convertibles had an all leather option. Not sure about hardtops.
Leather, not vinyl on Fireflites, with a curved [scrolled] front seat back
top; vinyl/cloth on Firedome hardtops, not sure of there was an all-vinyl
convertible option. Apparently there was an all-vinyl convertible option in
'56.

But-- if it looks good, would it's lack of authenticity be a deal-breaker?
The gosh-awful cloth on '55 Fireflite Sportsmans doesn't deserve to be
saved.

Any other questions, drop me a note.
