Hi Chuck!  Can you tell me where you got your trunk rehab materials?  Can you suggest a good place?

You may check with JENKINS Restorations, North Wilkesboro, NC  as I last purchased a trunk kit some 10 years ago...

Not sure who else is making reproductions.

hey Wayne,
My upholsterer purchased this material as a "close" match to original from his conventional supplier. I thought it was perfect. I'm sure it is still available although the car in the pictures was done about 10 years ago. I'm sorry I can't give you a supplier phone nor product code for that.
I did a 2nd Cadilac myself using a company off ebay who actual did a die-cut kit out of really close material, too. To do a nice smooth install job, I should have padded it but I didn't. It turned out ok but not like the car in my pictures.
I believe the eBay site was Muscle Maniac, a guy named Mike.  'MuscleManiac' <MW74CUDA@WOH.RR.COM
I was pleased with the material and the cut but I didn't install it the way I wished I had, but that's on me.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen.  I just spoke to Mr. Jenkins and he quoted me a full trunk restoration package.  I know he is the best in the business so i'm leaning toward that route!  He had me salivating... he said he just finished a leather interior on a yellow 52 convertible and working on a white 56 Biarritz with red leather.

I have never heard anyone that was not pleased with Jenkins. You should be very happy.
Good luck and Happy New Year!

BE SURE to check with SMS in Canby Oregon before making a decision. They actually make the fabrics in their own mills, and it IS EXACT!!!
