Default C1 inside trunk fender texture or no?

I have seen the inside of a few C-1 trunks and noticed that some have a texture similar to an undercoat look with paint applied over it and some without the texture. In the cases where the owner is available, I've asked -is the texture correct for the trunk? In every case they've answered -yes. On the other hand, when I visit with the non-textured owners, they too answer -no texture.

My question: Are the inside fenders of C-1's textured or not?

If you know for sure, please let me know...I appreciate the time you take to answer the question.

Respectfully,
Tom Spurgeon

My 1962 has a rough finish in the trunk interior fiberglass, but definitely not due to undercoating - just the rough side of a moulded panel.

This car is known to me going back to the mid 70s before I owned it, and I do not believe it ever was tampered with.

Ya made me trot down to the garage & uncover MY '62, which I've had since early 1967; it is NOT "smooth" It doesn't have the ROUGH texture of "popcorn" ceilings in older houses, either. When you run your fingers over the inside, you can feel the (minor) rough texture

Thank you both for checking...we will continue with a rough fiberglass (only) texture.
