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.

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.

Not a Corvette piece

GM product?

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

Is this a mould or stamping die?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** November 08, 2012, 10:47:11 AM »

No, it's a floor pan.

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

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #11 on:** November 08, 2012, 01:10:17 PM »

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

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

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

RayTheRat · « **Reply #14 on:** November 08, 2012, 01:23:50 PM »

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

Not sure this was clearly stated.

Is the floorpan metal?

RayTheRat · « **Reply #23 on:** November 08, 2012, 02:07:41 PM »

Made in USA?
