Nice car But the seat fabric is 56 Dodge, not 55 Dodge

The end of the embossed 55 Super Red Ram valve covers was around VIN 34834078.

So VIN 34813982 = fairly early and embossed valve covers, *AND* well before the first 1955 Dodge cowl data plate

Location: So. Cal		Really nice car. I would rather have the '55 spinner caps than the spoke wheels.
I have a set of the embossed valve covers that I would sell if anyone is looking for a set.
