I am researching what material was used for the trunk for a 1966 Toronado deluxe.
Also where do I find it?
Thank you

Re: Trunk
In the pic above you can see the side panels. the downspouts are behind them. I think the side panels rest on a flange weld or something that comes down from the top of the deck/quarter. I don't remember for sure. I'd have to look at it.
The curved areas on each side and in front of the jack (as you're viewing it) are the wheel wells.

Re: Trunk
Fantastic! You did a wonderful job! Does that material have some type of foam backing on it? I recently pulled the old material from mine which was in terrible condition, but there definitely is some type of foam backing on it. Also, mine has a houndstooth pattern of some shade of blue or gray or both.
Thank you again for sharing all of your info and pic!

Don't give me the credit. I bought this car from a friend who got it in a lot at Mecum auction. It was in a lt of 5 cars that came out of a private collection. He wanted 3 of the 5 and this was one that he didn't want - mainly because it has no ac.
Anyway, he intended to flip it at auction and had his upholstery shop do the trunk before he sold it. Luckily for me I happened to spot it in his garage and commented on the beautiful color. He tossed me the keys and told me to take it for a drive and gave me a price that was about half what he would have put on reserve at auction.
Oh ya, the fabric does have a foam backing.
