Trim combination for buick 58 special

Hello, I make a frame of restauration (80% finished) for my 58er buick and want also to change to interior.
I found a picture from a 58er buick with red/black combination, which looks for me very nice.

My questions:
1. I can not found this combination on the references (trim codes). Does someone know if this was delivered orginal 1958?

2. What kind of colors is the dash pannel for this combination? (On the car in the picture, all was black which looks not good). I don´t know if orginal was also red/black, but do not believe that this looks like good.

I hope someone can help me.
Thanks
Thomas

The picture is correct for '58. The red is a haircell grain vinyl and the black pleated sections are heat pressed. The smooth black (cloud pattern) inserts are cloth (polished nylon). All if these materials can be purchased from SMS Fabrics in Canby, OR.
The dash pads were black only in these cars, but the painted sections could be red or black.
Good luck with your restoration.
