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.
