the one in my Toronado does not ... it lights up the switch, and the A/C drops a speed (that's the way it's supposed to work according to the books) but it does not clear the window. No biggie, it's in the garage and I am in Florida. I even have all my heatercores bypassed.

I bought all new trim pieces, chrome gauge bezel, shifter bezel, all new seat covers, foam, arm rests, etc.
They really soak you on the replacement parts......trust me.
JUST the shifter bezel, trim piece, and shifter lens was almost $200
It's seriously just chromed plastic and fake wood trim.......totally a rip.....

Here are a couple of my friends 54 convertible. We bought one of the original dealer manuals with all the pictures and actual fabric/vinyl swatchs and had the trim shop reproduce an original interior. I think it turned out pretty close.

OK, Maybe my interior is not the best looking one out there...
But this is what the previous owner left me to start with.

My '67 88 Custom Holiday Coupe is getting better all the time. I'll post an appropriate pic of the finished interior, when It's ready to be viewed by the public.
BTW... That's a traffic ticket on the passenger seat. The previous owner was nailed for driving his vehicle with expired tags!

OK, here's some before-and-after interior/carpet shots of my '73 Custom Cruiser.
The old one was quite a mess, particularly in the front footwell areas, which isn't at all surprising given that it's a 37-year-old carpet.
Now here's a couple of photos of the new carpet just loosely laid in. It is a few inches larger in all dimensions, so some trimming will be necessary.
The new carpet is redder than the old, but not by much if you compare the new to a protected area of the old under the sill plate.
Just wait until I get the carpet cut and fit and the newly upholstered seats back in. It will be awesome!

GOOD GOD MAN!!!! I'd have thrown in the towel.
You must have DEEEEEP Pockets or a hell of a skillset and patience to get that thing turned around.
I have to give you a big high five for that one. Total transformation and bringing it back to life.
I wouldn't even TRY to return something like that back to good condition.
I'd give up before even trying.
Awesome looking Toronado.
I always loved the way those looked. Thing is mint.

Very nice!! Thats on my to do list too!! I like your firewall in the other post too, LOL!! Cleaned up nicely! See, I told ya it wasn't ugly! I bought one of those silver "sharpie" markers today to go over my A/C vents with, like I read about in another thread on here somewhere. And Jeffrey... you'll be happy to know my cup holder isn't burgundy anymore - it's now a lovely green!
