I didn't know Steele made any parts for the A.When I was doing a 37 Pontiac back in the late 70's-early 80's,I asked about A parts.They told me that there were enough other outfits making rubber parts for the A.I was told they had dabbled in it,but to make a quality product the price would be nearly double what others were selling parts for.The old,'I would pay more for a quality part',seems to apply more to talk than real life.There are always some that will step up,but most would just buy the cheapo version.I haven't bought anything from them for years,they may be doing A parts now.I bought a half dozen floormats from JC Whitney on a closeout in the early 80's.They are all still in use and seem fine.That was not what I expected from mats I paid $6.95 each for.
