My 38 Master does not have any lining material on the sides over the fenders and quarter panels. I just received my 1938 Engineering Features booklet and I see in a photo that there was material on there. So what was the nature of the material and how was it fastened?
My 1951 1 Ton is now on the road! My 38 Master 4 Door is also now on the road .

It is kind of a heavy fine burlap and cemented to the sides.
The back of the seat is like a heavy cardboard. Somewone should give more details.

I just received my 1938 Engineering Features booklet and I see in a photo that there was material on there. So what was the nature of the material and how was it fastened? I don't remember if your car is a coupe?? If so the coupe trunk area has a heavy paper lining. The closest I was able to find to match the OEM material is a heavy paperboard some upholsters use to make door & kick panels. It's held in place by tabs, screws & carpet tacks depending on the location. The downside to that material is it's thicker than the OEM paperboard and more fragile. There may be a better option but it works for me. ![[Linked Image from i47.photobucket.com]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f167/Tinys1938/IMG_1936-1.jpg)

The coupe is very different than the sedan.

I understand Gene. I just don't remember whether his car is a sedan or coupe and wanted to provide the info in case it's a coupe.

I have the same question, BUT I need the trunk lining for a 1939 master deluxe, mine had a pattern on it, but it`s old.
Anybody have a correct source for the 39 trunk lining?

Old216, I just emailed you several photos showing the lining of the trunk. I haven't posted photos on chat for so long I don't remember how, plus I have a new computer and still haven't figured out "my pictures" on it. It was just quicker and easier to email them. Let me know if you have any questions after looking at them. Beamer

Beamer,
thanks you for the photos, they are very helpful. I see the part that covers the fender are actually of a formed material.
Tiny,
that coupe trunk interior is beautiful! Mine is a 4 door or I think Sport Sedan.
My 1951 1 Ton is now on the road! My 38 Master 4 Door is also now on the road .

The material covering the side is the cloth burlap that is cemented on.

As the photos I sent old216 show, the brown burlap had a very thin layer of something like insulation (perhaps jute?) glued on the back and that was covered by black stuff that I took to be a thin tar than might have been used to stick it to the car. This was stuck on both sides of the trunk including on the fender wells. The only thing left exposed was the back of the seat and that was covered by a black cardboard that is 1/16" thick. That is in two pieces and is tacked to the back of the seat at the center. The floor, including the tool box, is covered by a black rubber mat. This car is original in the trunk. Beamer

Link to a thread with several pictures of trunk linings. If you live anywhere near Idaho, you should be able to find burlap bags just about anywhere......;) Trunk Compartment Thread

38chevy, I will email them to you.
Re burlap. You can buy burlap in most fabric stores. If you live near a JoAnn Fabrics, they have it. This is much better than using a burlap bag as it is finer burlap and is flat to start with. Not sure where you can get the thin jute-like backing for the burlap. Perhaps an auto upholstery shop? Beamer
