Hello all, I have a question as to what should go on the floor of my 41 wagon. Its my understanding that a rubber mat is basically what is suppose to be on the floor. I see in this auction a guy is selling mats for a truck. I asked him about where he got his materials and says they custom make them:

I guess my question is does this look like what is suppose to be there and does the price seem reasonable? Or is there a supplier out there that I don't know about.
Thanks!

Good Morning Stephen:
I'm in the process of sprucing up a '40 Club Coupe and bought rubber matting from a company called Rubber.Cal "www.rubbercal.com" The material I bought is called X-Derm and I am cutting it to fit using the old flooring as a pattern. The matting I bought off the internet also, I googled "Auto carpet matting" and found some for about $6+ a yard. I can give you the phone numbers and such when I get home in two weeks, I'm presently out of town on business.
Give me a call this evening and we can discuss what I'm doing with my project... I'll email you my number...

Stephen,
My understanding is that the mat is brown. There is a supplier who advertises in the Plymouth Bulletin who has reproduced the front floor mat. I bought one from him for my '41 wagon and am pleased with it but it is not inexpensive.

My understanding is that the mat advertised in the Plymouth Bulletin is for the '40. The fellow told me the mat is about 3 inches too narrow for a '41. He said that most '41 buyers fill in the space on the sides with carpet or such. What is your experience with this?
Yes, it is a little too narrow but it was also a little too long for my wagon so I cut it to length and then used the excess to fill in one side.

I'm looking for a rubber floor mat for my 40 Ply P-9 Business Coupe. Does anyone in this discussion know a source?
Thanks
