Some, but not all cars have 2 or 3 things in the trunk: Trunk Mat, Spare tire or bumper jack.
1) I am looking for a 5.0x15 rim used on the 57 GH. Possibly more than one rim due to hole wallowing for the lug nuts.
2) I have no idea what the hounds tooth pattern looks like for the trunk mat or spare tire cover. Is it blue? Gray?
3) I have no idea what the bumper jack looks like - aside from the 1958 Chassis book on page 531 that reveals the base and a portion of the jack shaft but NOT the item engaging the bumper. Did it have a J-hook to engage the bumper?
SMS sells the Hounds tooth at $95/yard. According to Rene' vinyl isn't the way to go but does in a pinch as sold by SI. Mentioned was Burtex that can be found but in a blue pattern. Either way that a rubber backing should be used?
I am hoping that someone might have a lead on all 3 items and/or pictures to reveal to include the bumper jack. But if you have a 5.0x15 rim and can let me know (see first 2 pictures) -or- a picture of a complete bumper jack that can lead me to something (3rd picture, 2nd from the right for a 1957 GH)....thanks in advance!
Speaking of which on the bumper jack, it seemed to me back in 1967 when I changed a tire on my 59 Silverhawk that the jack had a J-hook on it that attached to the ratchet portion of the jack.
Does anyone know for certain?
