Tom- Thank you very much for the info.  I was too slow on a NOS Buick kit that showed up on eBay for 150.00  :(  my carpet is in dire need of an upgrade.

Is there anybody here who knows from experience that one of Bob's rubber floor mats will fit a 1940 5219 LaSalle sedan? I know that it seems like the Buick mat should fit because they are the same body, but has anybody actually seen it done? Are the pedals and the steering column in the same places on both cars?

I have called Bob's and asked about this and they were not especially helpful. I would hate to be in for $400.00 and then find out that the mat does not fit.

Did you inquire if Bob's has an uncut mat to sell? I do not have personal experience with a 52 series.

Regarding the availability of un-cut carpets, when I was doing RHD Conversions, and in need of a plain carpet for the conversion, I found that the supplier would supply uncut pieces so that I could do my own fitting.   You just have to ask.
