Re: VINs and Build Sheets

Awesome! Thanks, Matthew. I can see the Caribbean Blue in a couple of spots, like where the trunk key is engaged.

Does anyone know if the grey fabric can be had anywhere? She's got seat covers on her now and they're a little rough.

Re: Finish the Jingle

Googled "Plymouth Jingle Contest 1959" and they both popped right up. Several newspapers are making their archives searchable on line. It's an expensive, time-consuming process, but it's an amazing research tool.
