    If you ordered head rests in this period, I guess this is what they looked like. I don't know exactly on which models but at leas on the QP as well. On tipo107.com there is a picture of a QP with similar head rests.

    Headrest were even available on the 3500GT but they were usually only installed on the passenger side. It was considered a comfort feature more than for safety.

    Most likely there was not only one original style. The silver spyder was a very late model 1968 while the red coupe was a 1965.

    i am pleased there are several original options. Mine is 1964 coupe with straight stich insulator, however, complete restoration was done during ex my ownership. So, I didn’t know current one is original or not.

    Hello Marco...

    1964 was typically a pretty early year for the Mistral.. Can you share your VIN number with us?
    Currently, 1964 Mistral 109-102 is with me...

    Mike,

    Does your Mistral have its original hood insulator?

    Hi Ivan/Marco…

    Just double-checked and 109-102 does NOT have any kind of under hood insulation, just some rough black paint. Now the question is should it?
    If someone has an earlier car than 109-102, or a bit later than that, that could be helpful, but not
    necessarily guarantee anything.

    I would guess that it probably left the factory with padding, and a previous owner could not find a replacement.
