Note: Only the Red, Black, Light Gold,and Chestnut Metallic interiors were monotone; the Light Rose Beige Metallic and Light Pearl Beige interiors featured a darker shade on the padded instrument panel, upper door trim panels, rear quarter trim panels, and the package tray behind the back seat. The Rose Beige and Light Pearl Beige seats, however, differed from the two tone combinations, in that the bolsters and inserts matched. Other interior combinations featured a darker shade on the seat bolsters, which coordinated with the darker shade on the padded instrument panel, upper door trim panels, rear quarter trim panels, and the package tray.

Note: The Limited Edition Landau interior differed from the others. The padded instrument panel and the carpeting, which extended to the bottom of the door panels, were Dark Rose Beige (Maroon). This color was darker than the color normally associated as Rose Beige. The balance of the interior was White. This included the steering wheel, which featured a unique metallic insert around the rim. Other Landau models for 1963 featured a simulated woodgrain steering wheel. See our Limited Edition Landau page for more information.

All interiors featured a silver tinsel welt on the seats, separating the crinkle bolsters from the Vachette inserts.
