SECTION 3 - INTERIOR
All Vinyl Interior
Seat Upholstery
The standard seat material on 1956 Golden Hawks is Kidd Grain vinyl with Silver Spire cloth
inserts. Optional all vinyl upholstery was available for all colors.
The exception was Ceramic Green/Snowcap White (paint code P5641) which came standard with
White & Olive all vinyl upholstery (see the Colors and Upholsteries chart in Section 5). However,
three production orders listed cloth trim for cars with the P5641 paint code. One of those cars still
exists and does have the cloth and vinyl interior.
On cars with all vinyl interiors, the pleats were on
the insert portion and ran from front to rear and top
to bottom.
On interiors with cloth inserts, the vinyl area in
front of, and above the inserts was pleated and
ran from front to rear. A silver spire cloth
material was used for the cloth insert. The only
colors available for the insert were Charcoal,
Light Blue, Light Green, Dark Taupe (also listed
as Dark Rose Mist).
Silver welt cords separated the bolster from the
insert on both the cloth/vinyl and the all vinyl
seats.
