The black and white Naugahyde keys were individually sewn as were the initial "L" and Liberace's famous candelabra sewn in the back arm panels. Bottom parts of the front and rear seat were covered with parts of the score from his theme song "I'll be seing you". Liberace's car won the interior design award from Motor Trend Magazine in 1954.
