Re: floor and trunk mats for 1939 club coupe

Can't help on the mats but if your car used flock on the trunk sides, finding the exact flock material will be difficult. Most Packards thru 54 used flocking in various shades and several have looked in the last few years. One of our vendors mentioned original bags of the stuff do appear from time to time on ebay but I haven't seen any.
Modern stuff appears to be a finer or shorter fiber compared to the original. Short of replacing the side material with carpet, paint only, or just doing nothing, modern flock is about the only other option.
For reference here is an article mentioning the Packard name for the color on 39's. If you still have a decent sample to match, perhaps DonJerhttp://www.flockit.com/ will have something close or, for an additional charge they will custom mix a batch.
EDIT: I just noticed on DonJer's new website in addition to custom colors, they now mention custom fiber lengths being available. Perhaps they can do an exact match if you have a decent sample.
