Some times I did not posted on my post...

Looking at some different discussion topics on getting bulkhead mats reproduced, I need help on confirming the color of the mats that should go into my car?

If someone could help me to answer this?

As reference my lowlight is from July 1959.

Thanks in advance for help.


Just making sure if someone could help me answer my question above (in bold).


Best,

Jerome.


Hello Jerome,

From my September 1957 Brilliant Red Coupe, which was stored indoors its entire life (not faded by the sun) and kept completely original, yes, the correct color is "beige". What is "beige?" Look at this thread:

Nice survivor, indeed... Surprised
A cloaking case for Optima may give a better appearance.

grailoc, Please don't use links from Photobucket. I see you've posted these twice. Photobucket blocks photos linked by the Samba ( or another site) and so anything linked is devalued.

Please upload your photos to your samba gallery.

Thanks

Agree! ^^^

This thread clearly demonstrates why I HATE PHOTOBUCKET!

Sadly This interesting thread about an old survivor is rendered almost useless by hosting photos therein.

I Didn’t expect that back in the time when like many pple I dropped pictures in photobucket. Was easier to upload in bulk with no need to resize high res pictures one by one.

Will fix that and upload on the samba gallery when I have time
