INTERIOR INFORMATION
Expanded vinyl is a thick resilient coated
fabric having millions of tiny air pillows which
create a soft cushiony feel. The colors are
Black and Lt. Flax.
Calais Styling
The styling for both cloth or vinyl is 2"
pleats which on the cushion extend across the
entire seat. This means the distinctive pleated
effect is unbroken by a plain center section or
bolster. Leather is not available for the Calais.
De Ville Cloths
Dardanelle—Ornate
Pattern
Delphine/Flair—Sunburst
Design
Two cloths, an ornate patterned Dardanelle
and a sateen Delphine/Flair material, are the
De Ville closed car options.
The Delphine part of this unique sateen cloth is
used on the back rests only. It has three inter-
woven oval patterns on each side of the center
arm rest. An oblong button, in the center of each
oval, ties down the cloth and adds a sunburst
effect to the design.
Delphine cloth cannot be supplied on any
other series because the pattern is made ex-
clusively to the dimensions of the De Ville trim
style.
The Flair cloth has a similar type of sateen
finish but it is plain without any pattern. It is
used on the cushion and across the top of the
forward-canted part of the back rest.
De Ville Cloth Trim Style
When upholstered in cloth, the De Ville trim
style has four vertical pleats on each side of the
leather center arm rest section on the back rest
and seat cushion. There is a plain straight-
across forward-canted pillow area at the top of
each side of the seat without any vertical
seams.
De Ville Leather Trim Style
The trim style, when upholstered in leather,
is different than cloth. Leather trim style has:
1) A plain straight-across "pillow" in Sierra
grain at top of back rest on each side of
center arm rest.
2) Four pleats of Ostrich grain below this
section with the two end seams angling
off to each corner of the back rest. Three
oblong buttons are centered on the seams.
3) The cushion is divided into two wide
pleats on each side of the center section.
Eldorado Dubonnet Cloth
A finely woven tricot knit cloth called Du-
bonnet is one of two Eldorado cloth options.
It has a two-tone weave of fine pin stripe (16
per inch) alternating light and dark tones. In
the Eldorado this fabric is offered in eight
colors and the pattern is applied horizontally.
Herringbone Tweed
The other material is a herringbone tweed
called Dominion cloth code 410. Its construc-
tion is a combination of black and white fibers
that result in an overall appearance of oxford
gray. This is the only color option in the
herringbone pattern.
Caution in Ordering 4 1 0
Dominion herringbone pattern cloth is un-
like last season's black and white check pat-
tern. Special attention is called to this to
prevent an assumption that there might be a
similarity of patterns because of the carryover
410 code number.
Eldorado Trim Styles
Leather and code 410 Dominion cloth will be
upholstered in 2" pleated style.
Dubonnet cloth trims will have narrower
1 ¼" pleats.
Brougham and Sixty Special
Devereaux—Brocade
Dumont—Cord
Dubonnet—Pin Stripe
Three cloth patterns are offered in styles P
and M. They are called Devereaux, Dumont
and Dubonnet. (The latter is described under
Eldorado, except the pin stripes run vertically.)
