Re: leather upholstery option 1937

Hi 160:

This is a cloudy area. I have personally never seen a sedan optioned in leather. I have seen leather door panels on the 180 Sedan, and seen leather front seating without a division on the senior cars. For senior cars Packard would do anything for a sale and I am surprised that such options were not more popular.

However, if you go to the parts book there are parts listed for leather interiors.

For example: A model 1803 Su8 160 sedan model 1375 has interior parts listed in both leather and cloth.

2262 is a 48-49 four door sedan and the parts book shows both leather and cloth parts.

However, For a 1937 115 touring sedan model 1082 the parts book does not list any parts in leather.

When leather or cloth is an option the parts are labeled as "cloth" or "leather". If there is no option then only the model number is shown.

Don't ask me how they are supposed to look because I have never seen one.

Sorry for the negative conclusion.
