77 Interior Changes • The Monte Carlo convertible door panels are the usual configuration/layout but the two-tone “red and black” may have been a one-off color combination. Red is seen in many cars with the combination of body-color Packard Ivory. Not black. Is it unique to the Monte Carlo convertible? • The plaid material on the seats of the Monte Carlo convertible may not have been an optioned item – it may have been a custom choice for the Monte Carlo convertible. • The rear interior panels have a large art deco flourish similar to the kick panels under the instrument panel at the front of the car. This added element has not been seen in other Packard Super 8 or Custom 8 convertibles from 1948 to 1950 and may be unique to this Monte Carlo convertible.
