<VV> Monza Cloth Interiors

[Kent Sullivan]

Of course, anyone who wants to lay down Benjamins to Clark's should have the
privilege of buying a cloth interior... But let me suggest that, given the
very low supply of these fabrics (so I am told) that anyone wishing to add a
cloth interior to please select a nice cloth that is not NOS, saving the NOS
material for the very few cars originally equipped with same.

My '66 500 coupe has cloth/vinyl seats, done by a local fabricator. I
ordered Clark's vinyl and sourced the cloth locally. It's been great.

Joe, but that doesn't mean you can't add the cloth to your car! My 62
coupe is going to get cloth inserts when I do the seats this spring,
and I'm going to use year specific fabric. Why? I like the way it will
look over the straight vinyl.

I just finished reading Dave Newell's excellent article about Monza
cloth interiors in the January/February Corsa Communique. I am
somewhat disappointed to learn that my car did not come with a cloth
interior. Ever since I had purchased the car, I thought that it had
originally had a 735 blue cloth interior because the back seat was
covered in worn/torn blue cloth. After reading Dave's article I ran
out to my car to check the VIN plate. I was expecting to see a 735
trim number, but instead the trim number is 736. So, according to
Dave's article, my car originally came with a blue vinyl interior.
Well at least I have an additional bit of information for my
"restoration."
