that would be pretty awesome.

I could never imagine driving with that huge catalytic converter hump on the floor.

Looks like "Sutherlands" to me

Edit...Did an internet search on "Sutherlands" turns out it is Sutherlands American Car Sales, of Queensland Austrailia which imported cars from America. Their homepage http://www.sutherlandscars.com.au/Welcome.htm
has the same "sutherlands" logo as on the floormat.

IIRC it was not a factory thing, rather it was a conversion done in Australia.

I never saw a GM "converted" F body. They were done overseas by private shops.
Costs a ton on money.
