    ****EDIT 10/25/2021. I'm still looking for an original trunk mat***

    I'm looking for an original trunk mat for a '70 A-body just like what is pictured. These photos are original 1970 trunk mats (not mine) as an example of what I'm seeking.

    My car is a high mileage, unrestored original car and new reproduction parts would look out of place.

    Thanks.

    ****EDIT 4/28/2021. I have a spare tire board now thanks to Tom Righter, Thanks Tom!***

    Gary, I thought I had the first Matt that goes down. However just have the one that’s in the photograph.

    Something like this is ideally what I'm hoping to find, an intact, but worn original mat. It would match my old worn-out car. As a second choice a used reproduction mat would work and I could keep searching for an original mat.

    I will be at the GS Nats if you have a mat but are not interested in shipping it.

    Gary,
    I thought I had one for you but when I pulled it off the shelf it tore. It seems to just break in pieces, Sorry.

    Hearing that breaks my heart into pieces as well. Thanks for looking Nelson.

    Anyone else have an old trunk mat for a '70 A-body?

    Thanks Jason, I will keep that in mind. That would be a good second option if I can't find an original.


    Thanks Fred. I appreciate your time and I have my fingers crossed that there is an original mat hiding in your vault of Buick goodies.
