Yeah, but the big question is.......does the car have the original rubber
floor mats, and if so, are they in excellent condition? (I've seen quite a
few beautifully restored bugeyes, but none of them had the proper rubber
floors; they all had converted to carpet since the rubber mats aren't made
anywhere.)
