    yeah i thought it would be easy. i can find light gray, tan black etc... but no white. i was hoping they were being reproduced for 50' era cars.
    did any cars from the fifties have them originally?

    Man, how clean you gotta be to have those? What do you do, put them in when you get out?

    i had a set in the car from when my dad put them in, in the late fifties and the rubber dried out and disintegrated. the rubber always seamed to stay pretty clean and if they got dirty a quick wipe cleaned them.

    Blowby had the same idea that I had. Check your local carpet store. Rubber floor runners can be gotten in white. They may have some offcuts big enough for what you need, or buy a couple yards and cut it yourself.

    Back to Wally World. Check out non skid shower mats. They have white in 21" X 21" squares.
