1973 Century/GS factory rubber floor?

    Just wondering did Buick offer a non-carpet option on the 73 GS/Century cars? If so, does anybody have one to sell or know where I can get one? Thanks, Larry.

    I should have realized when I made this post, the Gran Sports probably had carpet as standard equipment being a premium car whereas on the baseline Century a rubber floor could be a possibility. Larry.

    Philip, was that car a Century or an actual Gran Sport? Larry.

    It is a Century Gran Sport. It was then built as a Racer. Probably got the rubber mat from a base car.

    My 70 Nova came with a rubber floor. In winter, I would get snow packed all over my boots and track it onto the floor where the heater would melt it. Next morning it would re-freeze and leave a thick ice sheet under the gas/brake petals. Made driving more of an adventure.
