Re: {Chrysler 300} Fw: AACA Original Class Judging Plus 300H Trunk Mat Question

[Hank Hallowell <Hank@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can remember lifting the mat (whatever it was made

From) in the trunk of my sport series 62 300 in about 1972 at the ripe old age of 16 (after buying the car) only to have the top of the gas tank look back at me! It was as if there never had been a trunk floor.

A valuable Life-Lesson Burned into my memory.

We have a reference page for trunks.

The H page is http://www.chrysler300club.com/trunk/h/h.html

Those reference pictures are from 

my original mat probably 25 years ago.

It was mighty brittle then, is more brittle now

and I doubt I could remove it again.

I don't think anyone ever repopped the H mats but I have

heard of new mats being made. Might be someone would

undertake the project for Letter Cars.

Subject: AACA Original Class Judging Plus 300H Trunk Mat Question

 

This past weekend the AACA held its Western National Meet in Tucson so I entered our unrestored 300H coupe for evaluation in the Original Class. It did well, earning an Original badge. It lost a few points for my switch to radial tires as I drive it regularly, plus the addition of an electric auxiliary fuel pump for priming purposes. I also learned the current fabric trunk mat had replaced the original rubber mat at some point. Does anyone have an original mat they could snap a photo of so I could see what sort of pattern it had?  

Thanks for any help or advice.
