    where leather or vinyl 1973

    Hi to US,

    I intend to restore my full interior and I am not pretty sure about the different use of materials.
    My PCA says my 1973 Targa has full leather.
    So which panels (or sections) done with leather and which with vinyl (leatherette). The JOHNSON book is not fully clear here.
    In particular I mean:
    - door and rear side panels
    - insert dash
    - rear compartment wall and below rear window

    The seats (front and back) are clear to me.

    Thanks,
    Guido

    Full leather back then meant full leather. Everywhere you have flexible vinyl would be leather. Except for the door trim tops and pouch covers. The vacuum formed pieces would not be leather. I don't think the dash insert was leather , but why not?

    yes, the dash insert is the only area i'm pretty sure was not leather, but I think leather is easier to work with in this precise cut areas.
