I have had similar questionmarks myself. Not very long time ago (well... ), I bought a regal grain interior from Year One. When I look at my new seat upholstery and compare it with the table below, my best guess is that the parts of the upholstery that have a lot of seams in them, have regal grain (almost like Elpaso or Vexon in the table). The parts of the seats that doesn´t have a lot of seams in them, have a grain that looks like Coachman or Shallow Coachman. I have NOT compared these findings with the upholstery that my car originally had though.... I hope this gives you a hint at least.

(The scan is from Jim´s Auto parts catalog.)

I think that R/T cars got regal not coach hope this helps.

My regal grain upholstery (from Year One) looks like this: One picture says more than a thousend words? Sorry for the bad (wrong?) description above.

Is this true or not? Can anyone confirm it? Thanks!

I haven't come across anyone who really knows the answer. If there even is one.

The trim selector shows all Challenger vinyl seats, including the bench seats, being the same regardless of model ... Coachman grain bolsters with Regal grain inserts.

There's a recent picture I took on Moparts still.

Note that only the inserts are Regal grain. The bolsters are Coachman grain.
