For 1951, trunk mats, along with 3 piece cardboard surround trunk panels, are offered in brown or black.

What determined the different color, when 1951 passenger cars were assembled?

Thanks.

Yes, it was a running change.
Originally all Specials were black and Deluxe brown. During the year the Deluxe changed to black also.

Bruce,

I now have added a 2nd '51 to the garage. This one is also a Styleline Deluxe, built in December of 1950. Tan mat.

Original '51 is a July 1951 build. Black mat.

I see black trunk mats for $110 and tan mats for $190.

Where did you find new black mats for sale? I looked recently and only found the tan coloured mats.

Hey Wayne… Glad you found the best club in the world here! You should post up some pictures of your ride with your boat. They are both beautiful!
