  Please provide a supplier for subject part, if possible. I've tried a number of the "usual " vendors and they all reply that the part has been discontinued due to mfg. quality issues. Thanks for your help..., JTB

  Try The Early Ford Store at 909-305-1955 or All Ford Parts at 1-800-532-1932. Also check the front page of this site and go to vendors. Call all of them.

  Mac's still shows them available on their website.

  I bought one from Mac's for my '34 roadster about 5 years ago. It came folded, not rolled in a tube as I expected. I laid it out in the hot Texas sun and hung it on a wall but never could get the folds out. It was only about 1/3 the thickness of my original one which I am still using. The original one is very brittle and I have lost some small pieces of it.

  I've tried Steele, Mac's, Drake, and Le Bon Berry (sic) and got the same discontinued story. I'll keep trying.
Thanks for the responses..., JTB

  I believe that Dennis Carpenter was the one reproducing the mats, but he does not have any either.

If you are desperate, you might be able to cut a 37-39 mat to fit your 36.

  Tom0 - Not quite that desperate yet but I'll sure keep it in mind. Thanks for the response..., dej35

  C&G Ford says that they are now producing them for the 1936 passenger car. No mention if that will work in the roadster.

  dej35, a little further reading on the subject from this 2013 FordBarn thread about '36 floor mats...

  C&G just confirmed that their front mat fits a 1936 roadster and they have them in stock.

  I just pulled up the C&G online catalog to find that the '36 floormat is out of stock. I called C&G, thinking that the catalog might not be up to date, but Glen informed me that the part (A4000) has not been available for about 18 months and couldn't say when it might be continued. I do appreciate your help effort though, I'll keep trying..., dej35

  Sorry about that, A4001(Black) is in stock. I didn't realize you were looking for Taupe.


dej35    -- 06-18-2015 @ 10:28 AM
  I'll go with A4001 (black). There's taupe on the rumble seat floor but what the heck, you can't see both floors at the same time. I sincerely appreciate your pointing me to C&G..., dej35
