Pics of pics. 71 Polara and Newport

Sinamin's top is V1Y Gold while her interior is F2XA Black Vinyl bench. I just learned, while looking up the info in the ever useful Hamtramck Registry Library, that on the base 1971 Polara the only interior color choices were blue and black if one wanted vinyl (whereas one could also order tan for cloth seats, in addition to those two colors).
Interestingly, your new pictures of the car confirm that the V1Y vinyl tops in 1971 (Imperial 2dr example from @saforwardlook; Newport 4dr example from @cuda hunter) look substantially darker / browner than their successors in 1972 (NYB 2dr example from @Rob Mandolene ).

Drastic difference in color.

The V1Y top is a very close match to the GY9 body paint, at least after 50 years.
