1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park LS

54k miles. Some leather conditioner and this would look like new.

Says it is an LS with leather, but those door panels are GS vinyl. I am looking at the same door panels in my 88 GS sedan right now. I have the odd feeling that those are vinyl seats, in a GS. The LS door panel had a different pattern. Always thought the leather interior door panels were much less luxurious than the LS cloth interior panels. They really did have 3 different inner door panels for these cars.

 

Nice looking car, but I'm afraid leather conditioner won't fix the tear on the outer edge of the driver's seat.

 

Looks like the seam, which could be re-sown.

 

I bought a used Dodge van with maroon leather seats that looked like that. Since it was a hi top van I had to leave it outside here in Florida. In one year those cracks cracked worse and soon there were several rips in the front seats.
Not so bad in the rear because of darker windows. Those seats are too far gone to save with leather conditioner of any kind.
Still not a bad looking wagon.

 

Vinyl does NOT crack like leather does. That is a leather interior, without a doubt.

 

Yep. However vinyl splits and rips. Either way this wagon needs a new interior.

 

Vinyl usually splits at the seams, and doesn't tear unless it's been poked or ripped with something sharp. It doesn't crack like the interior pictured. THAT is leather.
