Trunk rubber mat
#1
Home away from home
Home away from home

The trunk in my 1937 Packard 120 touring sedan has a rubber mat on top of the plywood shelf over the spare tire.

The parts manual has no mention specifically of the rubber mat that I can find, but does list a "FLOOR BOARD ASSEMBLY, Trunk" in group 31 of the consolidated parts manual.

I am working with Don Lampen to get this trunk mat reproduced. Is anyone else interested, and does anyone know if this will fit junior Packard touring models of any other years?

Nothing magical about the rubber trunk floor mats for these cars. Your local trim shop should be able to cut one for you out of its stock roll.

My 115C convertible coupe had one on the floor of the trunk. It did not have a floor panel over the spare. I think this was due to lack of space due to the rumble seat protruding into the trunk area.

Wow, totally missed that entire section of the manual! I was flipping through Group 31, got to "Quarter Window" and erroneously assumed I wouldn't find my mat any further back. Thanks.

I understand 312376 is only for '37 juniors. My question, for those with experience with other juniors, is if the trunk shelves are similar enough, from say '35 to '39, that the mats could fit multiple applications? I.e. perhaps one touring body style trunk mat could cover multiple years?

JWL, that's a good point about getting a basic mat cut. In this case, the mat is pebbled except for a smooth band around the edges, so I think it would need to be custom made.

Thanks for the input guys.

Hi Ken,

How did the rubber mat from Don Lampen turn out?
