Re: 1938 Packard Eight running board mats

I have the same problem with my '39 120 - the exterior is completely restored with the exception of the running boards so that is next on my list. I understand Steele or someone was reproducing these but discontinued due to quality control problems - or maybe low demand?

Gearhead, if you contact Steele I would also be interested. In fact, I wonder how many on this site would be interested in these for the '38-'39 juniors? Any other takers? I wonder how many people would be enough to justify a run?

I have heard, though, that the rhino liner is a pretty good solution and will be researching that here also, I think the key is to get the "finest" grade, or one with as little texture as possible.
