Since Packard offered the combination, perhaps there is a fancy stitching method that is used to prevent problems.

The 54 Pacific I had was leather and nylon. I do remember the upholster said it was somewhat different in the seams and had extra panels under the fabric at a bias (or something like that) than other cars he had done. As I mentioned in another post, at the time I thought it was something he said to justify the cost--but now, maybe not.

This would be a good question for someone who does top end upholstery work. At any rate, you have the leather & fabric. The combination was available and while technically maybe not that model, being a Packard model in name, who is to say it wasn't a special order.
