Hello, I would like to reupholster my 56. My car is light blue and all the pictures I find are white and blue interiors. Mine is a lighter blue on darker blue and appears to be original

SMS should have the material for the interior but you still need a upholster to cut & fit
Your car has the interior trim code 1A1A what means light blue seat biscuits, light blue door and armrest biscuits and light blue seat welts with the rest in mid blue.
Your interior seems to be original.
Jeff:
Your car was previously owned by George Masters who owned an upholstery shop. George may have refurbished your front seat bolsters with vinyl. Originally they would have been leather. In any event, I cannot tell the difference in your picture. It will be very expensive to recover those seats with full hides (without seams). My suggestion would be to drive it and enjoy it as is. If you're after an award winning 100 point car, it can get very expensive very quickly. Good luck. John
Here is an image of the original fabric swatches for your car.

Those seats and colors are beautiful. Why the change?
goes double for me. I wouldn't change a thing.
