Location: So. Cal		These are the fabric options for the Lancer. The 770 fabric is fuzzy like a velour. I think the 170 fabric looks cooler than the 770 stuff, but I don't know what the seat pattern was for it.

Location: So. Cal		These are the fabrics that were used in the Polara 2dr hardtop & 4dr sedans. This fabric look good and has a neat fuzzy textured feel to it, but I think I like the Phoenix fabric better.

Location: So. Cal		This is the fabric available in the 4dr hardtops, convertibles, and wagons. This is just a straight vinyl. The green sample was missing, and "Green Vinyl sample not available at time of printing." was printed on the card. I copied one of the samples and put the same green color from the other Polara fabric onto it.

Location: Pacific Northwest		Thanks Nathan, I had my eye on this too but the old "need" vs. "want" kept me from buying. Glad it is in good hands.

Here is your preferred interior.

Thanks for showing that. That looks great! I didn't realize the diamonds went horizontally, but it makes sense to create the effect of vertical lines.

Location: So. Cal		It looks like the Phoenix material is not made of separate materials, but a sectioned weave with the different colors coming in & out, with a thick backing underneath that is sewn into it at the different transitions. I bet that stuff isn't going to be cheap to purchase!

Found the pictures of Pioneer Sedan trim code 312, but cloth pattern is wrong and not match to trim chip showed in the ’61 Dodge book…
It might be because sedan, although ’61 Dodge book shows Pioneer trim for ALL body styles…

Location: So. Cal		I assumed the 170 Lancer material would also run vertically like the rest of the '61 Dodge line, but apparently not as this one is going horizontally. The red one is original to my 770 Lancer wagon, but I'm not fond of the squares, the boring fabric, or the boring design. The '62 Lancers had a much better looking design so I'll probably go with that, and use other fabrics as well.
