Re: '32 Packard 901 Original Interior & Trim - Documentation

Some pretty interesting details there. I see the kick panels are a "colonial grain" leatherette board with no coverings. The difference in the headliner mat'l vs the seating and side panels. No valance over the shades. A wireon trim surrounding the headliner where it tacks into the side of the roof inner structure.

I see that use of a blind hemmer or a "Union Special" stitch was employed in hanging the headliner in 32 as well. No thread showing at the listings, and that type of machine is used in fine clothing like the hemline of a dress or formal suits for men. The machine is set to sew through 1/2 of the mat'l thickness. Leave it to Packard to go to such detail lengths for style and class. I can really appreciate the quality and craftsmanship, and I thank you for sharing.
