Interesting photos of ROOF INSERT

A group of interesting photos just showed up on the bay that reflects how the roof inserts on the '30s stuff was painted body color. A fact thats hard to replicate nowadays. HARRTZ Mfg supplied a light colored material to PACKARD for this process. HARRTZ also supplied Black Cobra Grain which im sure got used on Black PACKARDs, which seems to be 95% of the ones produced.

I've read somewhere, in Packard literature IIRC, that the colored inserts had an outer layer of pryloxin and the black ones were regular roof topping, grain-patterned rubber-coated canvas.
