    Ok, I have a question about carpet hold down plates...

    Hi all - these are for the 1936 Chrysler C7 Airstream but as you can see they are not in any kind of shape to use. Anyone seen them before or know possibly where I could get them?

    Those are the door sill plates. There was a company in North Haledon,NJ that used to make them and I think they are still in business. The last number I have for them is 973-423-1196 . The man's name was Don Kuehn. Beautiful parts...not cheap! Good Hunting!

    I'm glad I stumbled across this thread! I called the number today and talked to Don's mother who was really nice and helpful. Going to order a set for my '36 Chrysler Airstream coupe and my dad's '36 Dodge Brothers coupe tomorrow! Thanks jpage for the info!

    You're welcome! I found these folks at Hershey about 8 yrs. ago and was impressed by their work. I also need a set for my '36 dodge which I may soon order. Good luck with your cars!

    My thanks to Jpage as well for this info. I called today and ordered a set for my 1936 rs cp project. I wasn't sure where I was going to get these sill plates until I saw this post. It's great to have this forum to help with these hard to find parts and all the great info to assist with a correct restoration.
