1954 Trunk Carpet?

Anyone know what was used in the trunk area of a 54 Hudson Hornet?  Carpet or rubber mat and where one can buy them?  

I’d seen this on eBay but don’t know if correct or how well it’s made?

    They used a very lightweight woven material, not carpet, not rubber.  The sample on ebay seems to be about right.  I can post a photo of the original mat in my 54 if needed.

    Did they use anything on the vertical surface or just the flat part of trunk?

    Been some time since I posted and now have a new computer.  EtTo the double post.  I found this in the ads of the WTN.  It is much like a heavy burlap and bound around the edges.  It was advertised as a reproduction of the original.  It fits like a glove....

    That looks very nice, thanks for sharing that.  I’ll take a look in the WTN & see if I can find it.

    For reference... this is an original mat in the trunk of a 1954 Hudson.
