Pretty much the entire inside of the trunk was flocked with the exception of the underside of the trunk lid and down into the spare tire well. Sides, wheel wells. up over the hump,the partition to the back seat, and even up onto the hinges and anywhere else the adhesive landed. The floor got a thin, brown cardboard-like cover, that in some instances seemed to be flocked as well.

You can buy the grey/brown flock mix from the Donjer Company, and also the adhesive. Don't buy their flock sprayer. Do one area at a time by brushing on a heavy coat of adhesive and throwing handfuls of flock through the revolving blades of an electric table fan--preferably an old one without much guarding. Sweep up the excess and repeat. At the best it is not a durable finish. Don't do it on a hot day or the glue will set before you get the flock on it.

The jack was in a cardboard box that presumably sat up on the hump. Don Reedy of Mid-Atlantic Packards has those boxes.
