Rubber in the front and carpet in the back?

Recommended Posts

I own a 56 Dodge which has rubber floor covering in the front and carpet in the back and now my D25 only has rubber in the front ad nothing in the back (with the exception of carpeted foot rests).

 

A collector friend has a couple survivor mid-40's Dodge/Plymouth's and they also have a combo like this.

 

Was it a factory option to have a combo like this?

My various P15 Plymouths over the years have had rubber mat with horsehair type carpet in the rear.  Several years ago I bought a n o s front mat....it was ok for a while, then it began splitting due to age.  So I now have matching carpets front & rear.   I also replaced the missing rubber trunk mat with that carpet, which is a darkish red.  Goes with my interior.  A person could use black carpet to more closely resemble the rubber.  I think there is some roll rubber material available at Lowes and probably other places.

Bill passed away recently. They supply Packard stuff, however, the Hogs Hair Carpet is also available.

The rubber Mats come on Ebay from time to time but are usually the pricing is pretty doggonned proud for the Mats.

Thanks for all the info, folks. I still have rather nice rubber in the front.. I will look into hogs hair carpet mentioned. I'd like whatever I get to match the original foot rests.

Crap!  I did not know this.  I have done business with Bill since I was a kid.  Getting old just sucks!

 

My 1949 Desoto CV came with a rubber front and hogs hair rear. I used Bill's black hogs hair for the whole thing. Never have need a '49 Desoto factory rubber matt. I have an eBay search keeping and eye out...but nothing.
