We could use some advice from our friends here on the topic of "Chrysler White Vinyl". When I contacted the supplier to place the order, I was told that you could not order a white interior for a 1974 Duster. The supplier has a legendary reputation for quality and accuracy so I beleive them. They dont stock seat covers in colors other than what is correct for a given make and year. They did inform me that white was offered on earlier year Dusters, like 73 or 72. For a little more money they could do a custom job, and use the earlier year vinyl on the 1974 seat pattern. Great! We approved and paid.
Apparently what we purchased is known as Chrysler 200 White, the only Chrysler white vinyl available. I am told emphatically that what we received is the "correct" White. But unfortunatly it is quite creamy especially against other whites. see picture below taken today under an overcast sky) I understand the difference between white and off-white, but this seems to have a beige tint to it. Well, in any case, we are sure we have seen whiter vinyl seats on other Mopars especially Challengers and Cuda's -- we were just at a show saturday night and saw a red chally convertible with a white steering wheel similar to Pixie's and I was noticing how well the interior and seats matched. Then I look at the calendar on the wall -- look at JS27NOB's gorgeous Challenger this month-- I couldnt imagine the seats we have looking "correct" in there. The supplier insists that if the material in a vehicle is correct, it is exactly what we have. We are having a hard time resolving that. Im now wondering if what we have is really "200 White" or another color. Anyone have white seat experience that can provide assistance??
