You finally got one...is it going to be primer gray for the several years too?

To be honest, the '65 Catalina Pompei Pattern Cloth & Morrokide interior is not easy to come by. I had a guy redo my seats last year. I had the cloth inserts, but they were in poor condition, and had to be scraped. What happened was he found original '64 cloth (still on the roll) of the same dark turquoise color, but a slightly different pattern. So I went with that. The '64 cloth is also more durable than the '65 Pompei cloth.

Plan B would be to find another Catalina with the same color interior as yours and salvage the upholstery. A good interior guy can use what you give him if it's in useable condition.

2door sedan interiors only came in red, blue, and turquoise. Add gold for the 2d coupe. Add gold and green for the 4d sedan, and 4d hardtop.

In hindsite, I wish I would've been able to find another car with mint interior so it was factory correct...oh well, most folks won't know or care. The color is a great match, and they look great too.

As far as finding a parts car, you may come across one, but don't fret. Most everything you need is available from other '65's. The exceptions are the rear 1/4 window glass. So don't break them. I think even the door panels and rear seat panels are the same as a 2d coupe, but not certain.

So what's this car like? Any cool options, or is it plain jane? Color?
