My 1933 Packard gets new interior trim

[adawil2002]

Visited my 1933 1005 Packard Convertible Coupe Roadster, Okie, at the restoration shop in Oxford Maine.

I'm having the interior trim repainted. It took 7 months to get it back from the vendor, Nov '14-June-'15. The shop had two cars to prep for Pebble Beach A black Duesenberg SJ Roadster and a green 1934 Packard Dietrich Coupe which, restored by the Oxford shop, won 3rd in the Closed Packard class 2015. So my trim is Pebble Beach quality!

It's painted metal, Packard used metal in their production bodied cars because it's more stable than wood. It was also in vogue in 1930's to paint metal to look like wood.

It's painted Mahogany and Carpathian Elm Burl the same colors, process and tools used on '33 twelve cylinder Packards.

Wow!

They did an incredible job.

That is one of those projects where you do not just read some instructions and then 'do it yourself'!

Beautiful.
