Re: Trunk Interior Finish for 1940

I grew up with an original 39-120 Convertible Sedan. For what its worth, and I have not consulted the parts book, my recollection was a rubber mat on the floor of the trunk. Since our car did not have sidemounts, the plywood shelf was painted black and the insides of the trunk were otherwise simply painted or very lightly undercoated. I recall the wooden top well covered with that very thin vinyl-like fabric, peeling off of course.
Since then, most trunks I have seen, like the Hyman pictures, have been restored to a higher standard.
