Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | for anyone interested, I've taken photos and uploaded all 28 pages from my 1960 Chrysler Color and Upholstery Selections book.
The book has the actual swatches of material glued onto each page. It's a wonderful resource - and there are some optional upholstery selections I've never even seen or heard of prior to seeing this book, as in the leather option for New Yorker Sedans, and a vinyl option for Saratoga sedans.

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Nice of you to share this Ian, I also have the 1960 Chrysler Color and Upholstery Selections, but in my copy the 341 and 343 has been torn out and crossed over as well as added NA (not applicable) - seems like the only leather available was the silver & black.
What about your color samples - mine are totally warped and glued together by age and heat? |

My color samples are also completely shot / warped / stuck together. I am debating whether to even keep them....... what's your opinion? |

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | They are not nice, but I'll keep them. They must be painted with the actual car paint and I Think that they are the closest thing to the actual paint at the time. It's a pity that they are so damaged and warped - no paint scanner can be used on them. |

Location: ZH, Switzerland | Thanks Ian I just have a question: when I watch e.g. the Windsor (page 6 and 7) the texture of the center (B) looks at the seat covers of my Letter exactly the same, but leather instead of vinil. This section (B) looks like woven (basket weave), is it? For me it's clear, vinil could be heat fixtured. Or is the center section vinil as well at the 300F seat covers? Happy Restoring! Dieter |

Dieter,
The vinyl is in a basket weave pattern, like the inserts on the 300-F only not leather. It is heat-stamped to resemble basket weave. The 300-F inserts are heat stamped leather I believe. |
