Plywood Package Tray
Preparing to make a new two-piece plywood package tray behind the rear seat for my '67 1800s. Looking for someone who may have an original or a reproduced tray with the correct sizes for dimensions. I need the exact length and width of the two wooden pieces, #59 in the drawing. Thanks in advance if you are willing to help. Also looking for one bracket with caged nuts as shown in the photo below of a 1800E coupe showing one on both sides if anyone in the US has an extra. These pieces appear to be the same from the beginning of the 1800s production run and up on thru to the last 1800E coupes. |

Was able to get another smaller job almost finished over the weekend. The previous owner of the 1800s had removed the original package tray and rear seat backing and replaced it with a taller one to showcase a set of speakers for an added sound system. After getting the original Volvo optional AM-FM mono radio rebuilt and restored, a correct new plywood rear seat back and package tray was in order. Using the original carpet that covers this area and a scaled drawing seen above with dimensions supplied thanks to chrsvo I was able to convert the measurements into inch size and fab the two pieces out of the correct-sized 3/8" thick plywood. The photo shows it installed in place to check the fit. Two machine screws hold and locate the bottom piece in place on two brackets and on either side are four wood nuts that the folding seat back hinges attach to. The top piece is held in place by four machine screws and the chromed pieces that hold the leather luggage straps used when the seat back is down attach to a pair of brackets w/caged nuts are under this piece of wood. A few details still need finishing and at this point either a rare period Blaupunkt speaker and housing or the original Volvo speaker and the grille seen on the top will be used. The car still has all of its original carpeting is in good condition and the piece that covers this will be re-installed. |
