    My nephew and i are starting to do the upolstery job in our 54 Hornet Hollywood. Our car came from the factory with Brown cord cloth with snow flakes (white diamonds) I sent swatches to SMS in Portland and they reproduced it for me . I bought 11 yds and a ready made headliner. Does anybody have a 54 Hollywood with the original Brown, Green, or Blue

    cord cloth material in the car.

    any body with 54 Hollywoods could you please put some pictures on this site

    Also need pictures of interior. Hudsonly Ray::D



    PS The 55 Hornet Hollywood used the same cord cloth material

    Ray: Interesting that you should make this post. I was recently visiting with my friend Jim Guinn and during that visit we looked over his 54 Hollywood. He pointed out that the car came with Brown Cloth interior. I remarked to him that while I knew that the 54 Hollywood options included cloth interiors, I had never seen one. So this is the 2nd comment in three weeks about this. Coincidence?

    Cheers from HOT

    I was at Jim Guinn's place today and took two pictures of the 54 Hollywood interior. The original uphostery is Brown Vinyl and light brown cord with star type highlights. Although the interior is very faded I hope the pictures will help. The original color of the car appears to have been Roman Bronze.

    You can view the pictures at following links:

    Thanks Ken The 2 pictures that you took are good. The car does have brown cord cloth with white snowflakes as written in one of the wtn magazine. The car could come with brown ,green or blue cord cloth. the white snowflakes are realy white diamonds. When I sent our swatches to SMS fabric they

    already had green material that I could have bought but wanted to keep it original. I would have had to change the steering wheel dash cover and knobs. This cord cloth material was also used in the 55 Hornet Hollywoods .Thanks for the interest everybody.:D:D
