I would not have thought that. Learned something new today! Thank you! Admittedly, upon looking at it a second time, the heel pad looks very period-correct.

That looks like shag carpeting to me, not original to the car. If the carpet has been replaced at times (late 60's/early 70's) it would kinda contradict the seller's 13 k miles claim.

Oh yeah, there it is. Once you know it, it screams at you all the time...

I tried to spot the differences but didn't see them. So where exactly is the difference visible?

Steve, you pinpointed it. I guess there was a colorful variety of patterns and materials to choose from. So one could only be sure about the correct looks of the seats if one had the 1958 DeSoto color & upholstery selector. It makes perfect sense the convertible did not have cloth seats. They...

This being the upscale Fireflite I also assume the seat backs should have inserts in pleated vinyl in the upper part and "stunning gold-flocked nugget tweed" in the lower part as well as on the actual seat surface. Or some other fancy material, but not plain vanilla vinyl.

I didn't know this before, too, and raised my eyebrows when I read that. However, it seems original. This article about the 1959 and 1960 DeSoto Adventurer is probably from Collectible Automobile originally, so I guess it is well researched. They write, "To simulate grained leather, the coupe's...

Congratulations, Steve! I also like the 1960 Imperial very much. Panalescent Lighting is a blast!

I didn't know the car nor the man! It's fascinating because it is very advanced for its time. It somewhat reminds me of the imagination behind such drawings:

Smoking in the workplace? Why not?! Sense of humor? Sure!

I thought that Dodges were only named differently in Canada at that time, I did not know they were exactly these hybrids, too. I really wonder what made Chrysler executives have it that way back then.

By the way, the "Plodge" was actually called Dodge Kingsway.
