This looks like a great car and the trunk is one of the nicest I have seen.


The low mileage green car of which O_D posted photos shows conclusively that the trunk was flocked consistently thruout and on Patricians at least, included the cardboard behind the seat. I remember several discussion on the forum where comments had tended toward paint or the rubber like sound deadener compound as being the only covering for the sides. I do believe the flock probably started out the same color on all but tended to fade or wear off or maybe the glue dried and the fibers fell off over the years. The cardboard could have been plain on lesser models but at least on the senior model they went all out. I suspect even the floor had flocking over most of the surface and had the additional covering of the thin mat in the center areas most prone to wear.
