Randy -

If you recall, one of my Patricians, which was built fairly late in the production run, also has the 55th Series trunk lining - though incomplete. I have always assumed that was the result of material shortage and substitution - as things began to unravel in 1956. (Personally, I prefer the 56th Series material.)

However, it will be interesting to see if your production order has any special instructions - including the trunk lining. I wouldn't order any material until you receive and inspect that document.
