Starting on the interior in mine next week. Luckily my rear seat is in great condition, the fronts are similar to yours, a bit worn.So I ordered new front seat covers, foam and a rear package tray from Legendary Auto Interiors 6 weeks or so back. UPS drop a box on the front porch today and I got excited. Then a little disappointed as it was just the seat foam. I tore out the old ragged carpet several years back. I have new black carpet to put in but I need to get the floorboards cleaned up first and patch some pin holes. Looking going to change all the carpet to black but leave the seats the pearl white. Eventually I'll get the rear seats done also.

Riverdawg, your interior looks damn nice as it is. To have what you got is nice door panels with all the trim still on it etc. But you done a great job with your ride. Enjoy and have fun as you do upgrades.So I ordered new front seat covers, foam and a rear package tray from Legendary Auto Interiors 6 weeks or so back.

Thanks bearman, I’m pretty lucky with the interior. If it weren’t for the front seats literally disintegrating (especially the foam) I would have waited on them. Once I get the floors cleaned up I can get the carpet in and replace all interior panels lower section with new black carpet too. It’ll really spruce up that interior.Riverdawg, your interior looks damn nice as it is.

They are sexy machines!I recently picked the 64 wagon up in Wy. It had sat for some time but it drives and brakes work. 318,auto ps. Mostly original paint and no body damage.

65 Coronet's were my first love until I looked closer at the 64's. I was very interested in a clean 65 a year ago and then had heart surgery. It set me back a ways. I should still pursue the car. It was a dandy.Picture of my car at a local car show.
