Thats great jhicks5.   I'll give him a call when a get a minute.  Mine is starmist and colonial on the outside.  When you spray some, post a couple photos.  Definitely interested in how it comes out.   fdlrc, i hope mine looks that good regardless of what color it ends up.  Cant tell exactly from the pics, but yours seems to be a shade or so darker or richer.  Could be lighting or camera.  Heres my less faded inside of the glovebox.  It's pretty light in shade.   Inside of the door panels are very similar to this also.

I know, pictures are soooo deceiving. I just looked on 1957ford.com, interior, scroll down to card 201. That's what I have: starmist chain-grain vinyl bolster with blue dart fabric and medium blue dash. It is "E" on card I posted. It looks like my door panel is different, I have a silver panel and some chrome trim where yours does not, and I have a blue headling.

I'm not exactly sure if I will repaint in this same blue or not. I may go just a little darker, but not much. I will use PPG and of course save whatever paint code I use. I will use a flattener.

Your ash tray sure looks like mine and inside glove box sure looks silver tone. I like them both. Your seat certainly is not stock.

Yeah, not only is my seat material not stock, it's not even really blue anymore, kinda turquoise, ...puts a hurtin on my vision.

I won't be spraying the interior for a few months, so best I can do for now is show a dipped sample, compared to the LeBaron Bonney vinyl.  Since my car originally had a grey dash I cannot compare to the backside of the glove box.  I have looked at a handful of blue interiors personally and found a number of images online.  I can tell that this color is close, but not sure if it spot on.  For that matter I don't know that anyone knows for sure whether Ford used strictly one blue interior paint across all factories and models.
