I suppose when old it would look lousy. I'm wondering if 35 years of
vulcanizing technology has made any difference. I found a picture in the
TEAE Parts Manual scans, and now I'll ask around about rubber. I'm
attracted to a washable floor that doesn't quietly collect dust and
grit. I hate vaccuming car carpets. And if I hate the surface in a
couple years, I'll just carpet it.
