Steve G Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 The interior was reupholstered in 1973 from fabric to vinyl because the fabric absorbed the cigarette smoke too much... haha.. absolutely beautiful work too. well 49 years later the seat finally let go.. instead of seeing foam poking through I got to see this.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Peel off the vinyl and a good steam cleaning and she'll be as good as new. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who owned the car, the Marlboro Man? My mother and father, everyone smoked back then. I remember being a child in the back seat and the car packed with smoke, windows up and heater on... then from 2001-2009 I smoked in it too... I think that’s why the rats didn’t touch the interior in the last 12 years that it sat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 They did come with ashtrays and lighters as standard equipment...... Even in the back seat, so you could relax with your "date" back there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No room back there, even for someone my size (5-10") 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
