regular/LDO interiors

Hi there . i hear you talking about LDO exteriors and interiors. Whats the difference between a LDO interior and a regular interior Maybe pics would help. RON

 

LDO interiors changed from year to year getting fancier as the years went on.

Ok, LDO:

Exteriors:
-Odense grain vinyl top
-additional coat of paint
-bright bodyside and wheel lip mouldings with color keyed grained inserts
-front and rear bumper guards with rubber inserts
-bright pillar applique with grained inserts color keyed to vinyl top (4 door only)
-chrome flashed window frames, windshield reveal, drip and belt mouldings
-outside remote control left mirror
-chrome-plated grille
-color keyed wheel covers
-deck lid and quarter panel extension mouldings
-deluxe gas cap


Interiors:
-Contoured reclining independent (bucket) seats
-super-soft vinyl interior (only available in tan)
-cut pile carpeting
-unique door trim panels
-cigar lighter
-inside day/night mirror
-color keyed instrument panel with woodtone appligue
-color keyed steering column and deluxe two spoke steering wheel
-rear seat ash tray
-deluxe color keyed seat and shoulder belts
-sound package
-handling package


That info was from brochure I have. Also of note: Ldos have thicker windshields and extra insulation for a quieter and comfier ride.

P.S. I have a 2 door LDO with the super-soft tan vinyl - it is VERY comfy...

Thks again for the info. hoping to show up at Round-Up. RON

 

speaking of LDO.. anyone know how many were made each year 2 door and 4 door?

 

I think a Lite blue/grey color was also available in the LDO as well.
