William,
William,
Thanks for the feedback and I tend to agree with you. I recently noticed in D&R’s on-line catalog that they now sell mesh style package trays for 1st Gen's with deluxe interiors.
I recall from my senior year in high school (1978), a classmate had a '69 Hugger Orange, white stripe, RS X33 Z28 with deluxe white interior, and that the rear package tray was textured and not flat cardboard. He purchased this '69 in 1974, which at the time was an unrestored original, five year old car. I don't know the build date of the car or if it was LA or Norwood build car.
So, I would still like to survey owners of original/survivor '69's with a deluxe interior to see if indeed, there were any produced with the mesh style package trays.
Thanks
