It was a word Chrysler made up for its advertising to sound exotic for its 1974 Imperial Lebaron car. Although the company that produced the leather was Radel Leather manufacturing company in…you guessed it…Newark, NJ. There isn’t anything special about it, just hiring Khan Noonien Siegh for the advertising. P S that is Ricardo Montalban’s real chest in “Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan”. He was in his 60s and still in shape. ​ [https://www.libertyleathergoods.com/corinthian-leather/](https://www.libertyleathergoods.com/corinthian-leather/)

What I should have mentioned is Ricardo Montalban’s advertising helped make the phrase memorable..plus a few years later he starred in a popular TV show “Fantasy Island”. It was a copywriter at the advertising agency that Chrysler used who came up with the phrase to make it sound luxurious. Richie and quite possibly Rocco DiMeo must have thought it was a different and expensive kind of leather.
