Your post is pretty dim. I can't imagine what you want.

I think he is asking about a source for the floor dimmer switch. Maybe! After re-reading the OP I think he is referring to the floor itself, not the dimmer switch.

The sedan coupe floor is likely similar to the tudor & fordor sedans in the 42 to 48 range since they are all the same wheelbase. The tudor and sedan coupe had nearly the same front seat. The trunks are different depending on whether it has the rear tool box or not. The 3 passenger coupe was the odd one and convertibles all had the extra bracing that made them somewhat different. Station wagon & sedan delivery floors are always in their own category too even though they share some characteristics.


I don't have dimensions for those cars but they I generally use the original floor as a pattern to create patches. I avoid cars with no floor. They are better off as donor cars till someone starts reproducing the floors for them. There is bound to be a 42 thru 48 owner that can help. The shape of the floor doesn't lend itself to accurate measurements unless a person specifies control points to do the measuring from.

theres a front floor on ebay now.
the aftermarket ones dont fit at all, I had to cut and hammer and screw and use a lot of silicone to get it sealed.

My floorboard dims every time I drive under a bridge or wear my sunglasses.

It’s not flat by any means, but overall width is 43 1/2 inches, and from front to rear its 19 1/2 inches with a bend at approximately 9 inches measuring from the closest edge to the seat.

sorry i'm looking for the floor dimensions itself. My floor is a little buckled on the sides, and this is what I came up with. I was wondering if anyone had anything more accurate?
