Another option would be to look for a similar brown leatherette and have the welting made up by a local upholstery shop.
An option for sure. I had thought of doing that but wanted something ready made if possible. I'll try to stop by Stitch's next week and see if he can do anything that would look more appropriate than what I've found.

Somewhere there's got to be interior trim color/material information!
Agreed, but chances of finding it and then having the original info and material names and textures cross over to modern names and numbers will probably be pretty slim. I expect it will continue to be a case of sending in a good piece and seeing if one of the suppliers can match or make it. The windlace is a good example. I found a color I like and will go with it but the cloth finish pattern is different (smoother) than what Packard used.

What do you think YOU can live with?
Actually, I like the caramel too and if it were all next to the headliner, a no brainer. With the dark dash thrown into the picture it makes me think the light color will contrast too much. And the same on the dark brown next to the light headliner. Will see if Stitch can find a compromise and if not, then there is more headliner than there is dash so it will probably be the caramel.
