Terry,


Yes, correct.


I hounded Dave Walden for years about reproducing a 71 style mat (which was used on American Motors car of the same vintage), but unfortunately, a business case could not be made for it. The 71 mats were notorious for sticking to the trunk floors after any kind of weight, stains, and/or moisture being applied, and consequently most were trashed. So I acquired some Burtex roll stock and put in a request for a company in PA to graft (via a special adhesive) their thin gray foam to the Burtex, and adjust the position of the slot for the vapor separator, which was off slightly on their current production mats. I expect to see it in the next day or so. Overall, it will of course be slightly thicker, but the pattern is very close to your original sample.
