Can anyone tell me, or show me a picture- of what the trunk should look like in a 48 New Yorker? I am having an upholstery shop work on this, and have no basis for it being that it has nothing in the trunk now.

I believe they had a floor mat made of a woven material, possibly with a jute underlay. The mat was reddish brown with a pattern woven in if I recall correctly. The rest of the trunk was painted either body color or gray. I am trying to recall all this from last seeing one about 30 years ago. I hope someone chimes in with a photo.

The Town and Country cars had full trim including the sides and trunk lid being upholstered. The steel body convertible cars had  black pebble grained matting on the sides with a rubber floor mat. 

The 3 passenger coupes also had a full rubber trunk mat.

The 4 doors and coupes I believe had a fiber/ cloth type of trunk mat with no side wall trim 

All cars used a cardboard panel up against the back seat.
