So, everyone needs to call the major parts houses that sell A-Body parts and ask them to find a supplier for real rubber hounds tooth trunk mats.

Rubber is just nicer than vinyl. If someone still makes them, please let me know.
Thank you

They make them for first gen Camaros, can't imagine why a supplier wouldn't have one for other cars if they were so factory equipped.

Our 69Z with deluxe interior comes factory with a pretty thick rubber trunk mat with a houndstooth design on it. I had to buy a new one, they are just over $100. Not a cheap trunk mat but very nice quality.

They were an available accessory option for basically every model of every year.

Don

Absolutely agree. Condensation is a problem, especially if you have an air condition garage . The cool air in the garage will speed up the issue when pulling your hot (body) car in.
Next time at a car show, lift up someones mat. More times than not, you will see some minor rust starting.

That was more of an issue back East and pretty commonly seen when I lived in Ohio.

Out here in Arizona not so much of a problem when you have dew points in the single digits and 15% humidity. The mats themselves disintegrate from decades
of use while the trunk floor remains pristine.
