RE: [Chrysler300] '57-'58 floor pans (and '59 too?)

[christopher beilby <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

1) I may have missed a key part of what is being looked for, but REAR floorpans in 57-59 Mopars are NOT all the same I believe - eg '57/58 Plymouth used a shorter rear floor pan than Chrysler 300/New Yorker - the difference I think is shorter length under rear seat squab. Major fooling around to use shorter pan in larger body/300 I think if I am right.

 

Others out there know for sure?

 

2) If Legendary Interiors are virtually going to throw out/away whatever patterns etc they have for making '57 300C Interiors, wouldn't it be a bit stupid for the Club/someone not to save it all - the old 'if you've got it/one you never need it', but as sure as you throw it, then you need it. If it is saved, it might mean Gary Goers business lives on for another 100+ years?!

Hindsight is a great thing, especially if it used beforehand. (wished I'd done that more often than I have sometimes !!)

Keith - 
As many of the 57-58-59 floor pans are the same throughout all Mopar divisions, 
maybe you could appeal to members of the Forwardlook list.

OK, it looks like I guessed wrong, and nobody else needs a new floor 
in their '57-'58. So if the others didn't rust out like mine, does 
someone have the left and right floor sections to sell me?

Thanks.
