Well no wonder we all love the color who doesn't like a little chocolate with a " Nougat " center, ha! I bet you get alot of positive comments when you are at car events?

[jeyjey]

The red pinstripe interior actually gets more comments -- probably just because it's soooo '80s.

[WillyDaP]

I would agree the interior is very 80s, but having purchased many a car back then I did prefer the interiors over the 70s ----the advent of velour and sofa design seats, ha.

What a great spec, and in great shape! The interior looks way more vibrant than the typical maroon? Maybe the cloth pinstripes bring the color out... Welcome aboard!

Looks great!. Am Irish myself, ex-Dublin but in Canada for decades. Good to see a countryman here:). I know Co. Louth well, grandparents lived in Dundalk.

@jeyjey
Great cross section of vehicles!
The interior of your 944 looks quite pristine!
As you may have noticed the transaxle groups have all types of members so this is a great place to ask questions should you have any as well as an appreciative group for posting hints and solutions to issues you may have experienced.
Welcome to the boards and thank you for joining!

Karl,

Welcome from another Track Rat and I will also echo Tom that we need pictures of the Pontiac. Always thought GM must have been drinking heavily when they kept the Buick and got rid of Pontiac, but then myself and my family were much more interested in that performance Division than the bulbous, over chromed Buick ---- pretty good wording showing my bias right, ha?
