Lowes has T floor mat ?

Post by Hap_Tucker » Fri May 07, 2021 8:58 pm

Some folks say it is impossible to find reproduction floor mats for the TT truck. And that is probably true. But today when I was in Lowes, I ran across a nice "Father's Day Gift."

For $19.21 how could I go wrong?

OK -- the artist either had a one-off modified TT or they did the best they could with the time they had available to draw the illustration. But I still like it.

Note while the USA Ford Factories did not produce a production TT with matching demountable wheels all around they were available in New Zealand and Australia. See John Page's excellent article about the "Ford Special Improved Trucks" in Vol 53 no 6 of "The Vintage Ford." You only needed 1 spare. Australia and presumably also New Zeeland continued to sell the standard Ford TT with the gas tank under the seat and the 1925 style hood, and smaller car style front wheels, but also offered the Ford Special version with the matching wheels, gas tank under the cowl, 26-27 style cowl, 26-27 style front fenders and hood, starter etc.

I hope some of you enjoy the floormat. It isn't too early to make suggestions to your significant other or the kids on what you might want for Christmas....
