Re: [DML] Mixed Interiors

The factory may have kept records on this, but none have surfaced to 
date that I am aware of.

I have heard of '83 model cars that had combinations as you describe, 
but never actually seen any. Any model with a VIN after 10578 with a 
black interior (black seats, console, dash, binnacle, door panels) 
will have a strip of grey carpeting (trimmed in grey vinyl) at the 
very bottom edge of the door panel. I have yet to see a door panel 
that was properly trimmed in black vinyl at this point on a 
post-10578 VIN car.

There were three different colors/types of carpet. A fuzzy 'charcoal' 
(black interior cars up to 10578), a fuzzy 'grey' (grey interior cars 
up to 10578) and a smooth 'grey' that was used for both black and 
grey interior cars from 10579.
