1960s 60 CDV trunk cardboard trunk lining

[Michael Petti]

My 60 CDV has the original trunk lining but had to discard the mat. Replaced it with some grey indoor-outdoor carpet that looks good. The cardboard material that lines the sides and back to the trunk are usable. The wide piece that spans the width of the trunk underneath the rear package tray where the radio speaker and rear defroster vents are has two slits in it. Whatever went in there is missing and I have not found a picture showing it either. I suspect there was something there to help that wide piece to stand up straight. Does anyone know what it is or what it looks like? If I can find out what it looks like I have enough Amazon boxes around here to custom engineer something. As always, thankyou in advance for any help you can give.

I am wondering what to do for my 61. My Fleetwood and series 62 have different cardboard forms. I have seen different cardboard kits available from different venders. They appear to be model specific. I will need to look at my parts book to really compare them. My originals are very deteriorated

I did find the correct fabric from SMS. Even though at the time it took them 2 years to ship it.

Out of curiosity now you have me looking at my trunk panels.

I think I am missing three pieces. But the parts I am misding are just carpet. LH side of trunk latch. And two covers on the rear wheel wells.

So for 61 this is the standing panel that goes on the shelf behind the seats.


There are two holes in the panel used for push pins to hold the panel to the metal body behind the seat.

These holes are not symetrical. On the metal structure there is a round hole on one side and an oval hole on the other. Since the same metal piece is used one side has hole on the edge, and toward the center on the other.



Here you can see the hole in the structure and the mating hole on the panel.
