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.

 

We called them taxi cab floors. I don't think Buick ever offered them as they were "up-scale" cars. You might be able to find them for a chevy and they should fit.

Looks like they make them for pick up's. Maybe you could modify that?


TTT

 

yes, you could get a rubber floor on a 73 century. had one and with radio delete. nothing like that old look. lol

 

My Gulfstream blue 70 post model as well as my 71 post model Skylarks both had rubber mats in them.

 

Also had one in my 1973 Yellow Racer that Tom Q now owns.

 

Yep,had a 72 Lark with one as well. Was an excellent time in life to have a rubber mat lol

 

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.

 

Interesting - I am impressed Buick met the needs of all buyers!

 

My 73 Century had factory rubber instead of carpet.

 

Do you still have it? If so, do you want to sell it? Larry.

 

I recently purchased a rubber floor for a 69 Pontiac from SMS.

 

Thanks, I'll check and see if they have one for a 73 Buick. Larry.

 

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.
