'51 interior color

Unknown

My '51 C8 Coupe appears to have what's left of a blue marbleized finish on the days and door garnish moldings. So, I presume that the interior upholstery was originally a blue striped broadcloth. The question is, the steering wheel and antenna knob are maroon; is that original or do I need to look for a blue sterring wheel and antenna knob?

I would say you needed the blue. The maroon wheel and knob would go with the brown leather-grain.

I think the blue marble wheels are impossible to find in good shape? I am sure thats why is has a maroon wheel instead.

Interesting, I thought it was the Maroon wheels that were more rare. I know that the maroon shift knobs are very hard to find compared to the others.

The blue marblized wheels are not impossible to find. The antenna knob and escutcheon are harder, but still not impossible. Just start looking and letting people know what you need.
