Looks like there are several trim sets with cloth and leather in the charts of the 48-54 and 55-56 parts books. Not sure about earlier years, but seems like cloth and leather combos were only available in the full Seniors for 55-56. The Exec used same trim as Clipper Custom - no cloth/leather combinations offered in those cars for regular production

Packard was much more generous with the use of leather than other brands in later years. These days, you won't find much more genuine leather than what's behind your back and under your bottom.

Randy's '56 Four Hundred is among the best I have ever see. His car gets DRIVEN (not trailered) to shows and cruises all over the Penn-Ohio area, and beyond. The upholstery has held up extremely well.
