So I would love a set of correct dark blue floor mats for my car. But cant find any of course. Anyone try Bonneville mats? or what other options? Really don't want to put bow-tie mats in but I really would like a nice fitted dark blue rubber mat set.

Yeah, I too was thinking how cool those are. I think those are the originals from Darryl's car. Gotta be rare to find them in that shape after this long.

I know that this is a little off the original post but I just had to include a picture of my new, custom made floor mats from NOS. With my white interior and maroon carpet, they give my '64 CS a very classy look. Thanks again, NOS, for your awesome service and products.
Those carpeted floor mats look great........UNTIL....you accidentally put your FEET on them....... It's ALL down hill from that point.......
If you actually drive your car....you will be FAR happier with rubber......just give them a quick scrub when you wash the car.....and they look like new again....

I can appreciate your comment, MoboMac, but I have no worries. I do "actually drive" my CS about 3-4 thousand miles a year but carry some carpet/mat savers in the trunk for those "got stuck in the rain" days. I got tired of trying to keep rubber mats looking decent. They always looked spotted and require far too much care, let alone the cracking. Maybe I am just too fussy! I also wanted something that matched my carpet.

We're in the same boat.......I put over 3k on MY 64 last summer....ALL with the top top down......
I even park it UNDER trees...with the top down.....
I spend enough time picking pine needles out of other areas....including the carpet....so the rubber ones work best for me....
I had the carpeted mats in 2 or 3 new cars and once I had cleaned them a few times...they just looked like crap.....
Now if they would ONLY reproduce the the US mats in Aquamarine.......

i know the 64 pan is different so was hoping to see if anyone has tried some 64 USA rubber mats in the car to see how it fits? I am also thinkng of getting impala ss mats and having the center emblem modifies to say pontiac.
