I'm looking at buying a Gran Coupe which has the XW call out on the fender tag for the interior. Original seat covers appear to be black with a cloth checked red/orange and black center. It has a white headliner with over head console. Original door panels are gone. Dash pad is the correct black. What would be correct for a black/white interior combo on this car? Haven't seen many Gran Coupes in my lifetime. Thanks.

This car has a white headliner which appears to be original.

This car has a white headliner which appears to be original. The seats appear to be like this but with burnt orange and black checked centers.

My 70 cuda has a white vinyl gran coupe headliner. Is yours vinyl also? I have not seen another like mine. Yes it is a white vinyl headliner and I'm pretty sure it is original to the car. It has never had a restoration done on the interior.

Does have the overhead console? I thought all Gran coupes had that with a felt covered hard board headliner. Yes it has an overhead console as all the Gran Coupes.The few I have paid any attention to appear to have a vinyl headliner.

It has never had a restoration done on the interior. Then why does it have orange seats? Seats aren't orange they are black with the cloth back/orange(faded red) checked inserts as some Gran Coupes came with. I need to run over to the other garage and get the rest of that interior code. When my friend purchased this car 25 years ago the car came with half done black covered seats that were out of the car.It looks like The previous owner was trying to convert to a Cuda. I'm trying to sort out what it should have.

These cardboard and felt headliners (which all Gran Coupes should gave) failed early. If it has white vinyl on it I would suspect replacement in the 80s or earlier.

As pointed out the headliner would be black in a Plymouth Gran Coupe
The standard interior code should be PRXW which is white leather. The door panels would be white with Gran Coupe emblems in them Just got to the fender tag again. The code is PRXW. So this car had white leather seats. I've posted a shot of the headliner too. At a closer look, it sure does not appear original to me? It is vinyl. Also a shot of the drivers seat in it. Not original either, obviously. So it appears this car on the inside has had work done down thru the years after all.
