THANK YOU for the pictures.

I find it interesting the bags seem so similar, but the parts book has different part numbers for the (dust) boot bags.
I wonder if the screwdriver was used to pop the snaps off so as not to stress the material?

Was you great uncle a smoker, could that be some of the discoloration?

If someone from the PPG could comment on the 1953 Caribbean that was donated by Dan Ullam (sp) from the KC area, that might help. Dan bought his car from the dealer, he had pictures with the dealer giving him the keys on the showroom floor. I believe the picture was in the Packard newsletter at one time.

The tonneau cover does appear to match the top fabric.

This is a fascinating time capsule, and I appreciate you sharing it with everyone. I'm enjoying it.
