I've got a bunch of these. Has anyone ever seen one of these cars with this roof medallion? I have not that I can remember.

Wonder where they came up with that name as there's no such thing as Corinthian leather.

Looked around some online trying to find a picture of the medallion on a car,,,,,,,,,,found nothing.

The drivers 1/4 window on Modoba says corinthian edition in gold letters. I think maybe it was replaced at some point,

Oh my lord -- compubert --- I LOVE the link. I started reading, thought it was off topic, went back to the top, re-read to the middle then more then to the punch line at the end for the town of Corinth, Mississippi.... Laughed out loud.

Reminds me of Carl Sagan and "Connections".

Can't wait to use this to win a bar bet.

The city-state of Corinth of ancient times was in Greece, not far from the modern day Athens, not in Italy. As far as I know, the original Corinth was not particularly know for leather. The one in Mississipi is.

Then wouldn't 'Mississippi Queen' be a better promotion than a greek guy?

4229462 25.85 each Maybe you can punch holes in that rich leather and bang a bunch of these into the seat back so you've got "buttons" in your seat back. That way at car shows you can freak out the judges and the locals who stare into the Corinthian bogey man that lives on in TV land. Ricardo is the man....he will live forever or longer.
