I looked at the Chevelle sites and they are all looking for them for their 300's   

You mught as well buy a carpet set from NOS...  

the chances of finding a decent rubber mat from a 44 year old car is slim to none... 

4 door pickups and Suburbans had rubber carpets if you want to fit one of them to your car

 do you  mean  there is  a rubber carpet  for the chevelle  300  ??

that  would fit  in  my  car.

N O S  does not  list  a rubber   carpet  in there catalogue  , i wil have to contact them  to check

i prefer  getting  a original  application  , than  cutting  one  up  for  my  car

We have a '69 300 Deluxe SS396 Chevelle and they came with the rubber mat too.  I picked up a repro a few years ago but the pattern on the drivers side isn't correct and fits poorly over the hump.  It's more of a stiff plastic rather than the plyable originals.  Wouldn't mind a mint original but they are as rare as hens' teeth.

the original  rubber style mat that was found in the  entry level cars have  not  been available for many years. No one reproduces such a product. The item that Brad and others speak about was developed for off road use, police cars, taxis and other heavy work vehicles.  Many of the applications are not vacumn molded but made in a carpet    mold so may not fit as expected. Cost wise the same as a molded carpet

Think "carpet" would keep the noise down too!!!! & add some "class" to a base line car. Remember the Road Runner when it 1st. came out, rubber mats, looked like a TAXI interior, seats as well. but I guess it kept the cost down.

There just might be a pent up demand for these old rubber mats.  When we bought the Chevelle it had carpet installed and the rubber mat was gone.  I had buckets and console in the car too for a while.  Once I found the original material to repair the seat and the rubber/plastic mat from Dale's Musclecar Parts, I put it back more or less original.  The car still has the Stewart-Warner tach and gauges that the original owner installed.  Just something neat about having them the way they were so that people can enjoy some of th oddball old stuff.  Then, with the MOT charging people for not having smog equipment I even put that stuff on the engine.  At least I can drive around now without having one eye on the rear view mirror all the time.  Now there's sacrilege.

 Chris, you mean it's actually still in one piece with no holes?

 

Keith, good to see you on here, I have one of those Dale's Musclecar Parts rubber mats too. Pretty thick stuff, best to install it on a 100 Deg+ day

How's that other silver Chevelle coming along?

 

By the way, if anyone's trying to get these rubber mats repro'd, (ORIGINAL SPEC), I  would definitely want one!

Keith, your 300 is as I remember it, ( Good!) what about the OTHER silver Chevelle?

Still have the other car.  I'll tell you about our plans once they are finalized.
