Re: Carpenter's trunk lids (quality) 1940
Mike I ordered one on my dealer account for a customer, and had it drop shipped. Never heard back good or bad, but I'd imagine if the fitment was terrible he would have informed me.

Re: Can’t find stock color tan front mat?
You’d want a 36 mat. If you use a later mat you’ll have to cut the hole for the parking brake and starter switch. The reproduction Benton grey 36 mat is very close in color to the 35 taupe mat
