Curious About My Former 1968 Charger

In 1973 I bought a 1968 Charger from a friend (for $300.00!!!  ;D)  Since then I have seen several hundred 1968 Chargers but none with  upholstery like mine had.  My Charger was not an RT or anything just a standard 383 column shift run of the mill Charger except it had tinted windows but no a/c and a deep green vinyl top.  The upholstery was deep green with two dark gold colored stripes that ran from the bottom seat back then up the back. The stripes were about three inches wide and both buckets and the back seat had them.  Was this an option on the Charger?

In the 68 Charger the pleats were a different color that with some combinations was slghtly noticeable and other times more apparent.

Not a factory option in '68 for sure, but it would be cool/different to see.

Got any pictures?

Yes, those.  Of course that is obviously quite different from stripes.  It would be interesting to see the seats in question wouldn't it?  I think it would look good but my initial thoughts are that it was a custom piece that someone added.

From memory this is approximately what they looked like.
