They are hard to find over here,I wish someone would start reproducing them and I did find some mats for my 55 sunliner rolled up in a friends moms garage. garage sales and flea markets are the best place over here to look and dont know what you have.

 

I see them pop up occasionally on ebay. You might try watching there.

 

thanks guys...i have a feeling i looked everywhere! there are some on ebay, but they dont really look right!
the hunt goes on!

I'll ask my upholstery guy today Palle......?

 

I am sure they could be reproduced. I love the later fifties with the diamonds in the designs... I was going to start a post, but I saw this one..

 

JC Whittney still sells a lot of the old looking stuff, maybe if you look in one of their catalogs or search their online catalog.

 

I am looking for the rubbermaid with the diamond pattern. I was hoping to go to Herhey and find some... I always say I just need a time machine...

 

Oh baby!!!!

 

If you only drive it in decent weather you should not worry about the mats holding moisture.
