I would like to drag out an old thread, I think my June 54 oval was Iceland green. I am waiting for my birth certificate to arrive but guess it wont confirm the colour.... I am leaning towards this colour right now!

Here is my hood prop over volksworld o.g. paint feature!

I would love opinions on green leatherette. I cant find any pics of a pre 55
H pattern seats in this colour only 56-57. WW site shows a swatch of green for 53-55. Can anybody confirm that this was an option, I really want leatherette and want something different than beigh.

Thanks!

In my building sheet leatherette is mentioned, but all we found was
the green cloth with green piping showed in earlier reply's. So no vinyl.

greetings

Thanks guys. I would like to sacrifice my "back sides" safelty for vinyl.
I am thinking of children, long term wear, and rain!
I just spent 200 on detailing juice stains out of my daily... they even stained the headliner...

Hopefully someone will have the proof of "H" pattern green vinyl. Sad

My last oval was strato silver with bedford cord, so I want to try something
completely different. I hope the birth certificate has some info, could just be an Iceland green hood, although it looks like faint green in the rear shelf.
