I couldn't do it. Waaayyyy too much white to take care of. I've been there before with a cheap car, and it was very hard to keep white.
Well, you did live in a place were anything left unattended outside would turn green in three months time.
This Chrysler is a beautiful automobile. I'd say it certainly rivals the Cadillacs of the time in the styling department. Did they ever offer these as a convertible? I'm imagining one with horns on the hood and Boss Hog finally thinking "if you can't beat em, join em." and switching to Ma Mopar.
First of all, stop listening to Rap and Hip-Hop Yeah, vinyl can get quite grubby. I've once had white-colored leather in my Starfire and it wasn't an issue. What that boat needs is some plastic- and carpet dye. I'd do it red, if the carpet and trim is no longer reasonably available Eighteen years previous to it Otherwise, only the compacts left the factory as convertibles
Well if you count the Chrysler 300, which by 1970 was very similar to the New Yorker body 1970 was the last year of that “big” C body Convertible.
It’s interesting that the A pillar garnish moldings appear to be tan, then the rest of the garnish molding from the drivers window back is white. Looks rather odd with the color break. Don’t think it’s a discoloration issue, although some of those ‘70’s plastics did wind up with color variations with time.
They might have had little choice, in the matter, since white A-pillars would annoyingly reflect light onto the surrounding windshield (That's why you never see a white-colored dashboard). Extending tan mouldings towards the rear of the car would have been another option, upsetting the color scheme between upholstery and roof. I would only have used tan against a blue interior. Red or black windshield moldings with maybe a silver or even chrome piece separating the white-colored roof moldings would have probably attracted less attention. Of course, with complimenting dashboard and carpetting
Chrome garnish moldings for the most part were last used in 1967. The ‘68 models that used metal moldings required painting for sun reflection issues, as well as Federal mandates. Think Ford had eliminated them, and last used the chrome moldings in ‘66. I think GM used metal moldings through ‘70. By ‘71 everything was plastic. It would be interesting to see that same car with blue or red components to see if the A pillar moldings were those colors.
And on my tablet the steering wheel appears to be black. How did that happen ? Maybe Mercman is right and the colors shifted on the beige plastics and carpet but the color combo looks off to me. Say what you will about GM but cannot imagine that interior getting an OK from Harley Earl or Bill Mitchell.
I think the steering column is also black, I think its stock. It would not be the 1st 70's car I have seen were no matter what color the interior is, the Column and wheel are black. My 73 Leman's Safari with the sport wheel is that way, the rest of the interior (except for the seat belts) is green. the wheel and column are black.
