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

Thank you all for the fast course in 300H trunk carpets! Looks like one of the previous owners had the right idea replacing the original rubber with a synthetic carpet. The trunk floor is good and solid. I'll consider the substitute synthetic a good "preservation upgrade", like the switch I made to radials. Many thanks again....

Go with a real carpet mat…..as long as you carry a case of beer in the trunk. I harken back to John Grady’s story of the exhaust being too close to the trunk, the carpet caught fire and he had to put out the fire with the case of beer in the trunk.

Those rubber trunk

Mats were the worst idea.

If their is any moisture there the mats make shure

It never drys out.

Always rust under them.

Go with a real carpet mat.

I can remember lifting the mat (whatever it was made

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.
