I am finishing off the upholstery in my 40 mercs trunk and I need some ideas of how other cars have been done. I did a search but never really found what I was looking for. Any pictures of 39-48 ford ,chevs or mercury trunks would be great.
For what it's worth....Pleats & carpet match what we did inside. The old Samsonite train case hold the battery.
Check out the Upholstery,pictures,inspiration,how to, history social group. Hundreds of pictures there, should be a few trunks in the mix.
It should match the interior in design and color. If you look at features of customs in the 50's and early 60's the spare was almost always covered and if it wasn't it had a matching hubcap on it.
Here's mine. Kinda' plain but that's what I asked for. I also have the right support arms on there now. I don't carry a spare.
