Re: Interior Material Question

Hello Rich:
I understand your concern - that LB material has a rather "strong" contrast. You need something more subtle, more Packard-like.
The 1941 Packard Data Book (page 21) says the 110 Special had two choices in broad cloth. One, a tan stripe (yours) and a blue-gray stripe. Farther on down that page it describes some optional trim styles for a 110 Deluxe with multi-tone upholstery.
On page 23 they describe a dark green/light green combination where the dark green is in Bedford cord on the upper panel of the seat back and the front panel of the cushion. The light green is broadcloth on the lower panel of the (seat) back and the rear part of the (seat) cushion.
The advantage here is that you are dealing with solid colors. But it would be a compromise. You would have to decide for yourself if you put in an all broadcloth interior with strong striping, or an interior that was an option for the Deluxe and apparently not the Special.
Or another way to put it is; what would be more noticeable by the "judges"? Strong stripe or a Special with multi-tone upholstery?
BTW, take a look at this thread:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11613&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=0 It would appear that the owner used the LB material you are reviewing. Might give you an idea of what the end result would be. Click onto the photos to zoom in.
Good luck. -Roger--
