Material type used on the foot rest of 41 Packard

Posted by CORSASEVEN On 2016/7/23 20:08:07

I am completing the new interior of my 41 160 sedan. The upholsterer and I seem to differ on one part of the project. To me the foot rest that attaches to the bottom of the front seat appears to me to be mohair. He thinks it's a fine napped carpet. My question, is it carpet or mohair. Also what did Packard use to cover the blanket cord on the back of the front seat ? Thanks for any help with this.
