I won't swear to it but I understand the original finish in the trunk consisted of a flocking material that was sprayed over the tar-like coating. I don't believe it held up very well since I've never seen an example of an original trunk in good condition. There was (I think) a hogshair type of mat that then went down on the floor of the trunk. My '50 came with the mat that I think is original. I'm not planning on re-flocking my trunk so I haven't looked around for replacement sources.

Welcome! And enjoy your Packard.
