Went to the car show today ,Red interiors everywhere from old school to current . Even if red did look good with green I couldn't use it now .

Depends on the era/style really.......cream/tan leather screams 90's / 2000's to me.
The style of the exterior looks 70s/80's to me (based on wheels/chrome etc), something like a black interior with lots of detail (tuck and roll/diamonds/etc) would look pretty cool.....my car was built with late 60's in mind.....so I went with black diamonds / chrome everywhere.
The example above with cream does look really good though.

Mai Ki-Ki , Your right , trim style is reflective and yes the car is very early 80's , I think that is a common thing seeing a car built to suit what the owner missed and tries to relive . Having said that , it is as I bought it and I have changes in mind that lean toward Ol School Cool .
I can see where your going Stinky and I like it , but let me give you a run down on intended changes . Initially , FB side trim ( Yeah I know ) and a vinyl wrap insert probably black at this stage but open to suggestions . good thing with vinyl , just rip it off and start again . For now the rims will be changed to black powder coated 7 & 8 inch steelies with the narrow ribbed dress trims and the car will be in the weeds as much as practical . Eventually the fluted front guards and chrome vent cowl will be replaced along with a mild custom addition to the grille .
Brenno , your car oozes with class , first time I saw it I was left gob smacked and I still am . Tasteful and different , you have got to be proud of that . Much like what I am trying to achieve with my interior . I appreciate all input as I am at loose ends with where I need to go with this .
