1939 Lasalle front mat carpet photos anyone??

[bariman]

Can you help me please?  I could use some pictures of the correct way to do the carpeting on the front floor mat for a 39 Lasalle.  Thank you.

Dennis... Contact Fred Zwicker ,CLC23106 from OH. He restored a '39 Las about seven years ago and did an in depth photo documentry on the details you're looking for . bb

Hello Dennis

Splendid to read that you are improving your LaSalle.

As mentioned Fred Zwikker did a detailed restoration on his 1939 LaSalle 5067. His fantastic work received accolades and awards from our organization. Fred provided us with a pictorial description of the process. Go to www.fzoldcars.com

I look forward to meeting and seeing your finished product at the Grand National this summer in Boston.

     I believe Fred told me he bought his from "Bob's Automobiana" (not spelled right I am sure). They are a Buick parts supplier in Atascadero, California and another location.  Their mats say " Fisher Body" , not Buick or LaSalle, but if you call them and tell them what your car is they will know what you want. Reliable folks. I bought mine for my 39 from them too, it is very nice.  You can probably see the mats online in their catalog.

I have seen Fred's photos which are very good but they don't show the finished front mats.  I was hoping there might be some other photos

Thanks for the help.  The original photo was particularly useful.

How do you provide access to the battery box if you carpet the front floor?
