I have a 69 with houndstooth daytona yellow interior. The door panels have split at the arm rest area and I am going to replace. The door panels in there now have obvious stitching to them. They have split along the stitching. The replacements look like a foam type material. Were the stitched door panels originals? some kind of first run? I am the second owner and never realized the difference before. the original owner never said anything about ever replacing the door panels. I guess I will replace and keep these in the boxes. Any ideas why mine are stitched?

Sound like the originals...

Jay,
Yours are stitched because thats the way they were made. And made in the USA.

I am also in the market for yellow deluxe door panels and would like to get an original type which is vinyl vacuum formed over foam with a cardboard backing. The Al Knocks (which I currently have on my pace car) are ABS plastic on the outside as well as an ABS backing board.
I am hearing there are new suppliers of this door panel and would appreciate if anyone hears of an "original type" being made.
