My '30 Deluxe Roadster came with a new rubber floor mat, but I noticed the parts dealers offer carpet for that model also. Which is correct? Should there be some type of underlayment between the mat/carpet and the floor?

Carpet is correct for the 30-31 Deluxe Roadster.
There is no underlayment between the carpet and floorboards.

Keep the rubber mat underneath the new carpet you order and install. It will help quiet road noise beneath your feet and act as a (semi-) buffer against heat emanating from the muffler. Your passenger - and your feet - will thank you.

Using the two floorboard coverings helped make life more bearable in my late 1931 DeLuxe Roadster.

Good idea, Marshall. I was thinking the same thing.

Hello, my late 31 also has the rubber mat with carpet on top , probably as mentioned helps keep some of the heat and noise down. Check to make sure you don’t have any open holes and floor boards are sealed up and tight, that helps too .
