[DML] Re: Carpet Color (the real story)

[James Espey <james@xxxx>]

Up until VIN 10574 there were only two different carpet colors, dark 
grey (considered 'black' and used in the cars with black seats, 
dashes, etc) and light grey (used in the cars with grey seats, 
dashes, etc). After 10574 they went to an all light grey for the 
carpets. This later carpet has a "smooth" finish to it as opposed to 
the two earlier carpets. I was told by a former DMC employee that 
this was done to lighten up the interiors on the cars with black 
seats, dashes, etc. The one "oops" of that plan is that the bottom of 
the door panels have a narrow strip of carpet on them. On a late 
(post-10754) black interior car, the door panels are black vinyl with 
a narrow strip of grey carpet and vinyl.
