39 coupe floor mat
 

Hi folks

My 39 coupe has a tan colored rubber mat. It’s very old, brittle and needs a replacement. Anyone find a good vendor selling a tan/beige/sand colored rubber mat?

Benton gray is the original color. Beige, although nice looking, isn't correct.

Thanks I like the beige.

Anyone know where or who sells beige?

When I looked for the mat for my 37 last year they were only available in black or gray

Benton gray is not really gray in my eyes. It's dark tan.

Kinda like the paint color on my car, and I think the car in Kube's picture. "Cloudmist Gray" is a lot closer to green than gray.

Ford was sort of fast and loose with using the word gray back in the day. There are numerous examples like this one where most of us would not have picked that word to describe the overall color impression of their colors where gray was used.

Obviously with Ford, accurate color description was a bit of a grey area.
