1968 Nugget Gold Crinkle and Kiwi Vinyl, Luxury Interior

My books do not use those terms for descriptions.

Got a trim code I can cross check with door tags or buildsheets for a possible picture?

I can work with that. Unfortunately haven't spent many years taking interior pictures. Allot less requests for those

Here is some shots of another 6Y  car - later 68 San Jose car










Different car and body type - same 6Y interior code




And a few close ups of the materials used originally. grain and texture seems to depend allot on wear and angle of the shot

This one is where the front seat folds forward - appears that the texture has been reduced by usage/wear. 6A interior





One from a very protected area that has not see much usage or even light over the years. Bottom edge of the rear seat  6A interior





And one very close up of the bottom cushion of a bucket seat 6A - original upholstery. Hope this helps

Today is the first time I have seen a mustang upholstery description with "crinkle and Kiwi vinyl "   I don't see anything crinkle and kiwi in those pictures....just standard seats.

The marketing guys often used different names from the same think used the year before (like body colors). Made things "special" Interior style also referred to as just vinyl in some of my reference books. The look of the material (inserts and surrounding - different in look) appear to me to be very similar/same as used on the 69's - also referred to as vinyl in those same reference book. Inserts almost have an alligator look to me 

Not really important IMHO what they call it - much more important to get the right stuff
