Hi,

I'm looking for a source for the canvas that is tacked to the plywood floor sections of a 1930 733. Or at least a good search term? I've had no luck searching around so far, so thought it might be best to ask!

Thank you!

Here is a photo of what came out of the car:

I have not seen anything like that on any of the 1920's & 1930 cars I have worked on They all had a jute backed linoleum with aluminum angle edging in the front and a carpet on the rear floor depending on body style.
I would doubt that it is original.

Hi,

I have to agree with DavidM. I have a 1929 car with an unmolested interior. Grandpa was a mechanic, not an upholsterer, so he made mechanical changes, not coachwork. My car has the dark green linoleum in the front with aluminum edging and wool carpeting in the back with what looks like horsehair backing. It is held down with large snaps. Please let me know if pictures would help.

Interesting. This does also have carpet. But underneath there is plywood and tacked onto the plywood was a canvas-like fabric. Though, I think we've found some material.

(Sorry for the delayed reply - going to change my notification settings right now. :) )

Thanks!
