Color for seats/ cushions for a 56 CC Sedan cruiser.
Looking for current color and material for a 1956 CC Sedan Cruiser.with flying bridge. 27ft. The delivery card says “Flame” as the color of the cushions or seats. Was this cloth or leather. What color was Flame? I assume red. Please provide any information or recommendation.
Re: Color for seats/ cushions for a 56 CC Sedan cruiser.
My guess would be red Naugahyde.

Thanks Jim. If anyone has any original pix or drawing I would appreciate that. Someone also mentioned that flame was more of a Salmon color. A little unsure. I guess if judges see something close to a red flame color that would be good enough. Thanks again.

Hi, My ‘56 has the original upholstery in flame as the hull card says. It is more of a yellow color Naugahyde.
Sorry for the flipped pic🤨

Boats are to be made of wood, otherwise, God would have grown fiberglass trees.
Re: Color for seats/ cushions for a 56 CC Sedan cruiser.
Wow. Yellow or gold , A far stretch from a red color. Very key info including your original seats. Can you send me a copy of your Hull card? I just want to use that as a reference when challenged. Greatly appreciated.

Judging from the condition, I believe the upholstery to be original.

Re: Color for seats/ cushions for a 56 CC Sedan cruiser.
Attached is my hull card. It says flame as well but can you explain the “straw”. I assume it would be naugahide as well ? Thank you sir. You have been greatly helpful in solving the mystery.

I was hoping someone would come up with the old samples.

Excellent info and photos! Amazing that this was created and saved. Thanks very much. Do you have any idea where to get straw-flame fabric ?

You could call Woodies Restoration and see if they have it or can get it made.
