    1964 vinyl vs leather

    Reading the post about a '67 and vinyl vs leather judging reminded me of a book on restoring the '64.

    This is what the author claimed:
    1) For the '63, the only color that was available in leather was tan.
    2) The man that stamped the trim tags in early '64 thought the only color that was leather was tan like the '63, so for the early '64s, he simply didn't check and marked all colors other than tan as vinyl regardless if it was leather.

    Does this author know what he is talking about or is this an "urban legend"?

    It sounds unlikely to me. By the way saddle was available in both leather and vinyl so it was required to note vinyl or leather on the trim tag even if saddle was selected.

      Gotta be urban legend. Otherwise, the NCRS C2 Trim Tags book would have red-flagged this anomaly.

      It's difficult enough for those who judge '64 interiors -- there are 23 pages devoted to 1964 trim tag codes in that book, versus 3 pages for 1965; 5 pages for 1966, and 6 pages for 1967.

        I found the article...I read this about 20 years ago and still have it with old papers.
        It is an article in "Vette Vues" on page 51.
        I'm not sure who the author is, but both Billy Spivey and Harry Shirk are mentioned on this page.
