That '53 upholstery was never intended to replicate a Packard color-- the car was supposed to have the grey interior, based on the data plate. I think the previous owner had that color done because it was inexpensive. It's more maroon in person, but it's still weird, and its synthetic velour, so...yeah. The headliner and the "b" pillar panels seem original to the car.

The car has a windshield sticker from the CHP roadside emissions inspection program, which is probably why someone thought that meant it had been a CHP car.
