I viewed your link. It didn't seem like there was a way to enlarge the pictures. You could repeat your thread here and just re-use your text and photos.

It would have been a nice opportunity before removing the top to see what the car would look like with a blue landau top. I think it would look nice with a white wall tire. I've used the VHT vinyl dye before and I was surprised how well it worked in my case. I used it on an arm rest so you're "testing" it on a lot larger area. From the photos it looks like it presents itself well.

The seating surfaces should be real leather and the surrounding area vinyl or PU leather. As I recall the advertisements used the wording "Leather seating surfaces". Probably most people didn't read that as literal as they needed to to know the real truth.

Agree too! Nice blue color.
