    even pontiacs in the 1950s that weren't the catalina hardtop or convertible would have a rubber front floor mat, and carpet in the rear floor.

    Well, I was around at that point in time and just do not recall ever seeing such.  All the Oldsmobiles we had  (48, 52, 53) never had such.

    The pit is especially handy when the job requires some top and bottom work...no need to run the lift up and down or get on ladder.

    In my humble opinion, a pit would be the way to go, precisely for the convenience referred to above.  However, the government has made use of a pit "next to impossible" with regs dealing with electric. ventilation and drainage.

    If your car has old sealed beams exchange them for new ones. I don't know why, but sealed beams do loose their illumination capability over time.

    Nor do sealed beams even begin to match the brightness of automobile lighting available today. 

     

    I guess what I am saying is that what seems dim today may have been standard and acceptable back in 1947.
