Tim49, the bedliner can be good, it's down to personal choice and originally most Packards had a coating of black bituminous 'sound deadener' that resembles the bedliner anyway. Many trunk spaces had flock applied to the coating to dress it up a little. Do you want to keep the car totally original? Many owners simply carpet the trunk but in some cases that's not original.

Biggest issue is that you do need to remove / neutralize any rust that exists before applying the liner as rust can still progress slowly under the coating. And certainly it's wise to avoid carpet and floor coverings that don't breathe or trap water behind them (typically rubber-backed ones), if you have any water ingress at all to the trunk.
