Anyone out there can share some photos of either an original interior or a correctly redone one? I just got my vinyl from SMS and I would like to make sure what I got is correct. Must be a swivel seat car please. Really need to see the front seat not so much the back. Also any headliner photos would be helpful. Any help is appreciated

This is a Canadian Polara with swivel seats. The Canadian built 1960 Polara has the same upholstery as the US built Matador.
This is completely correct with the correct embossments on the vinyl, and cloth material from SMS.
This used to be my car. The only items missing are the plastic covers over the rear swivel mechanisms on the lower back of the seats.

Thanks for posting. My embossments on the Matador are original and a bit of a different design, but the pattern is exactly the same It appears Matador embossments and a little different than the Polara's.

How are the embossments different ? Pictures?

The photo below is of the original front seat in the car before the swivels were installed, and the upholstered from SMS. The embossing on the driver's seat is identical on this one to the one on the driver's side swivel unit.

Here is the back seat in the car, prior to being re-upholstered with the correct cloth. The embossings on this are the same as the embossings on the passenger side of the front seat.

The original Matador seats out of my car have the smaller embossments just like those on the back seat, on the front seat as well.
