1929 ESSEX FRONT FLOOR MAT PROGRESS

Hi Kevin, I am still VERY interested in the reproduction front floor mat!
I hope this process is well under way!
///////////////////
lt seems it has been about one and a half years ago this was started.
//////////////
I will notify you here I want one mat! ( I might need one more a little later )
///////////////////
Anyone else, interested in a mat, add your name to this string.
This will help them to determine approximately how many mats to consider to be made.
////////////////
Thanks for the kind effort, Hans

Well, let's analyze this:
Perhaps, some mats can be be obtained without holes being prepared. This might enable right hand drive vehicles to look their interior best.
We should try to see if the ESSEX logo can be repositioned for them too. Or a suitable logo prepared to be "cut in to " the approximate position by owner.
The ESSEX logo could also be cut in to running board material.
/////////////
With that, they should fit, unless some non US body maker performed their local magic.
//////
I would also wonder if they might be produced with wider aprons on each side for the possible use by those with roadsters.
//////
Just wondering if 1927 and '28 owners might be interested?
If added width could be provided, 1930,31 and 32 cars could be included, and the volume could help reduce unit costs.
///////////////
Now just might be the time to let the 'powers that be', be aware of our wants/needs.
///////
Are there other good suggestions to be considered?

Sorry It’s sideways….
I would guess that they all would all need to be trimmed in some way for all models while the coupes would need to be both shortened and narrowed.
Two years waiting is just not right.
With your kindness is providing the only mat in existence that could be used we will have to get this moving.
Your goal to have mats available, that should have been available for this year's international meet and for others around the world.
I’ve had a wonderful experience and encountered many kind and helpful people in my HET Club affiliation but it’s certainly distressing to be put through such an ordeal, simply because in some way I merely wanted to share my good fortune with other left hand drive Essex owners, worldwide.

I have already contacted them earlier this year to make them aware that there’s an issue. I was told that there’s nothing the USA club can do.
I suspect there are others that want this to progress to help them with obtaining a suitable mat for their cars.
Do you have an idea of the number of interested persons?
I intended to post a query there to get an idea of the amount of interest outside the realm of the “internets”.
She had been suffering from the end stages of CREST Scleroderma for about forty years. She survived three transient ischemic attacks, expressive aphasia and brain bleeding. Most Scleroderma patients don’t survive even one such episode.
I reassured her that I didn’t want her suffering on our account and she thanked me. Fortunately she didn’t have to wait long and passed peacefully and painlessly.
Can you update us on 1929 Essex floor mats?
Perhaps we can put up a notice to help identify those interested, to help things move.
Hans
I will be making another crate and hopefully shipping it back out tomorrow.
