So, '51 trunk mats have been unobtainium for some time, have heared that dies are being repaired, plus covid, etc. '49 & '50 trunk mats in general have been scarce also, but I see at least one source has '50 mats. I am wondering how different the '51 mats are, a little trimming or way off, just wondering.

As always, any response most welcome. Thanks!

You might want to contact Concours Parts and ask them if the '50 mat they sell will fit your '51. See > https://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb...Z5Z5Z50000051e

Thanks Pete,

I've got a good original mat in the trunk of my '51 club coupe. That picture on the ad is pretty small, but I'll check mine out and see if it's close. IIRC, my mat covers a lot more than that little picture. The picture may not even be correct. I am also suspicious because they state that their mat does not fit the coupe or convertible. I find that kind of surprising.

Thanks Denny, I'd appreciate that.

It will be a little while, as I am taking off at noon tomorrow to go to my hometown for my 62nd class reunion and I won't be back until next week.

Funny,..... I went to my 50th last weekend.

Just a follow up, a guy on a Shoebox forum showed me a picture of a '50 trunk mat in his '51, fit was decent, some difference around gas filler pipe, overall not too bad. I ordered one from Mac, will do for now. Thanks!
