I used them for interiors of my 400 and my Caribbean. Very satisfied. I used two different local interior people to sew up the material.

Original leather for this Packard was supplied by Lackawanna Leather Co. which I believe is no longer with us. Mistake people seem to make in recent years is trying to use vat-dyed leather rather than color-coated leather. The two types have a very different look and feel. Original stuff was NOT vat-dyed and gave a plusher, thicker look and feel. In the end, what you do is to locate a commercial automotive leather supplier and simply have the (non-vat-dyed) leather tinted the right shade to meet your needs. Not cheap, but that's how you do it.

My experience confirms Leeedy is correct.
Good luck
