looking for beige/tan interior details for a 356a t1

#1 Post by Jeroen van der Velden »

I am restoring a 356A t1 with polyantha red exterior and beige/tan interior with corduroy inserts.
At this moment i am ready to start with the restoration of my interior.
is there anyone who has detailed pictures of a 1956 T1 with original beige/tan interior with corduroy inserts?
thanks a lot...
Jeroen

Here's photos of a 1955 Continental, restored by Road Scholars. Not a Tan interior, but does have Corduroy Seat inserts. If you need detailed photos it may be worthwhile contacting them to see if they can help with what you need. Hope this helps. jim

Jeroen, Here's photos of a '53 with Tan interior, restored by Rens Ruts. I don't know the detail differences between '53 and '56 , but believe the '56 still had the 'fat' seats. Nice photos.

Here's an old Registry post, regarding the type of screws used in the interior which may be helpful.

Jeroen, If you need correct Chrome Screws for your interior, hopefully Andreas can help you. In my opinion, just excellent.

I don't know about the corduroy inserts but Neil's Book has every photo ever needed of a '59 A coupe, red w/ tan as I remember. Terrific resource.

Every A owner should have a copy handy to prevent mistakes.
