I trust you found my use of the word "buggered" to be appropriate to the circumstances? One of my favorite words as well.

If you look at the photo I posted earlier from Shaub and Reedy's book, the jack resides in a cardboard box which just lays in the trunk.

I suspect the sides and back of your trunk were "flocked" (no comments, please), a common practice back then of spraying an adhesive and they spraying with a short-haired bristle. You can still buy the materials, usually in "kit" form. Unsure about the floor mat in your trunk, perhaps just rubber but someone else will have a definitive answer.

Your jack restoration looks very nice indeed.
