I don't think the individual springs were "filled" but did have a sewn cloth "sock" on each.(at least was my '49 (23) The top was some burlap fabric and layers of cotton batting on top then the trim fabric. I could be wrong, going from memory, but I don't recall any foam. It's up in the garage attic, covered up, so can't say for sure at this time.

Mice will eat holes in it and nestle in for a long winter's night and if accessible would store food in there. But with all those tasty wires...who needs food. They're better wire strippers than klein tools.

I recall I set my interior out in the sun for several days after bug bombing(palmetto bugs) to get the odor down to a roar. Vacuumed 50 gallons of squirrel, etc. habitat from the rear seats. They even stored acorns in the motor. The unpleasantness of field storage auto rescue.
