The standard vinyl trim used in 1966 was a soft, expanded vinyl. While
this material is very close to genuine leather in appearance and feel,
it does not have the healed scars that are inherent with this natural material.
Automotive Mileposts recommends you thoroughly research any car before
purchasing it. Look closely to determine if the material truly is leather.
Genuine Leather trim was not a popular option on these cars, partially
due to the deceiving nature of the standard vinyl trim.
|
Caution: Several sources list White Leather as a trim option for 1966 Ford Thunderbirds.
These same sources also fail to list Parchment Leather as a trim option.
To the best of our knowledge, White Leather was not available as a regular
production option. It is possible that a few cars may have been equipped
with White Leather as a Special Order, but we have never documented any.
We have been inside hundreds of 1966 Thunderbirds over the years, and have
come across a few with Parchment Leather, but never any with White Leather.

Levant grain vinyl was used on all Town Landau models for 1966, with a specific seam pattern that featured seams located at the edge of the roof, instead of having them located somewhat towards the center of the roof as in years past. This seam style, for some reason, is difficult to duplicate when installing a new vinyl roof today. Makes you wonder what Ford had that could do it in 1966 that isn't available today! |
