Interesting topic. There are plenty of unmolested Packards of various vintages around here and I'll start making some observations.
I did empty the glovebox of my 5699 (late car, #254, w/o A/C) for a looksee. At first touch it felt like flocking but it is not, its a soft gray cotton (?) fabric glued to the cardboard - very much similar to the kit I have from Carpenter but haven't installed. Also checked the 34 Eight, same thing - thin grey cotton fabric glued to backing board.
What I found in the glove box is quite a different story, but if you haven't looked in your lately you've probably got some surprises too.
