1953 Buick Special Floor Mat

[Guest imported_JPIndusi]

I know that the 53 Buick Series 40 cars came with a rubber front floor mat. Was there an option for a fully carpeted front mat?

Thanks for any information you can supply.

Joe, I don't have my 53 books and lit anymore, but I was pretty up on them when I had my 53 Super - the answer would be no, even in the super, the answer was no.

Joe, the books show only the 76R and 76C (Roadmasters) coming standard with carpet in 1953.

Thanks MrEarl and Keith. I have noticed that vendors claiming to offer carpet sets for 1953 Buicks will never guarantee the fit on a Special. They claim that they use the original floor layouts to make their carpets (sewn or molded) but they probably use the Series 50 and 70 floors. I have had a similar problem on my 48 Special Sedanet, the carpet I purchased was clearly for a somewhat larger car, probably a Super or Roadmaster.
