I told him the seats were not correct to the car and he said he didn't believe the original owner would have put wrong seats in the car.  He is not so talkative so it's hard to know who did what to the car.  I can tell they are fairly new, its a quality job for sure.  Some say the interior is not even close others say it is close.  One thing it is not is original except maybe the door panels. They appear to be older than the seats, headliner and carpet.

I don't think any of what you listed make it a bad car by any means. It's the only Virginian I've ever seen that is Horizon blue.  Looks like a fine example from my seat.

The chrome and the 6 volt have me hung up. I chromed my 49 and it’s wasn’t cheap. My 6 volt was unreliable so I converted to 12 volts. A pain to do because I did wiring and gages and all. Happy with it now but don’t want to go through it again.

regarding the interior, the fabric is way off from original, but it is a nice job.  Fid is correct, the car should have 2318 Havana Blue Stockholm & Beaumont Cloth.   Here is a link to a youtube video of my Virginian with the original interior which has the same Stockholm/Beaumont fabric the Horizon blue car should have, but in a different shade:
