1955 trunk mat

Could anyone advice where to buy a correct ribbed rubber trunk mat for a 1955? Most vendors seem to list it with no pricing, all seem to be out of stock.
Could use even a nice used one.

As far as I know, they are not being reproduced. NOS is your only choice, never seen one for sale anywhere.

I bought one of these black, ribbed mats at NPD about a year ago, with the hanging curtain at NPD for my '56. It says in the catalog it will work for a '55 if you trim it to fit: See page 20....

Thank you both! I know that the 56 mat can be modified to fit in a 55, I just thought that a 55 mat could be already available as most catalogs have it. Guess I'll have to get a 56 and cut it to fit.

Let us know if you were able to find the black ribbed type. I have only seen the Burtex type.
