2 Men & a Floorpan #355 - Avanti fiberglas floorpan at the Molded Fiber Glass Co

[Otto Puzzell]

Those one of these guys looks like he's stifling a yawn, the floorpan with which they are posing caused a bit of buzz when the car of which it was an integral part was introduced.

For one point: What company made it, and what car will this floorpan become part of?

Only a complete and specific answer will earn a point!

Hudson Motor Company, Detroit Michigan. 1951-1954 Hudson Hornet..step-down floor pan. Lowered the center of gravity for Hudson Hornet cars, they were lower than contemporary cars..with a sleeker appearance.

[Otto Puzzell]

Not a Hudson

It doesn't look like a steel pressing and there seems to be a bit of glassfibre apparent to the bottom right, so I assume it's made of this material and may be something like a Corvette floorpan. Just a wild guess, really.

[Otto Puzzell]

Not a Corvette piece

[RayTheRat]

GM product?

[Otto Puzzell]

No sir, though it was replaced by one. Sort of.....

Is this a mould or stamping die?

[Otto Puzzell]

No, it's a floor pan.

[RayTheRat]

Floor pan for the 1940 Pontiac Series 26 Plexiglass show car?

[Otto Puzzell]

No, not a Pontiac; not from a GM brand (see above)

[RayTheRat]

No, not a Pontiac; not from a GM brand (see above)

I saw it, but I didn't understand (still don't) it.

[Otto Puzzell]

As time goes forward, it will, I think, make sense.

[RayTheRat]

Ok.  Let's try something else.  Is it a floor pan for a unit-body car?
