Floor Mats
« on: February 18, 2016, 06:00:16 PM »
I have always looked for floor mats with the best style script (65 and 66 fonts) and could never find any. They always have the 67 and up "round style" GS letters. Finally found some and ordered them and they came today. They are a little cold yet but here is a picture. They will go into our '65.

Automat store on line. I did ask them if they would do a group buy and they would be interested. Many colors and options available with or without the second color option. I think they are a part of Legendary.

Here's a link to them on eBay. Single color is cheaper. I do see on mine they are GM Licensed product and made in the USA! 🇺🇸

Link didn't work. Just look on eBay for 64-72 Skylark floor mats.

Dear Jim, Dan, Buick_65, Loren, and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

Wow!  These are very nice looking mats and the customization options are very impressive.

It is a bit pricey but for custom work like this what would you expect?

I'll have to think about this one!

Thanks guys for another interesting pointer!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Nice Jim!
ACC Carpets offers carpet floor mats. Current logos are the Buick 'trishield' or a 'Skylark' script.
Only $90 from Rockauto. I bet they could do a custom logo if there was interest..... unless there are licensing headaches.

They are high but I wanted to stay away from GS mats that had the wrong font for our cars. So I figure I just paid the difference over what the wrong ones would have cost me. They are less for single color and they have a lot of colors. I also wanted to stay away from the carpeted mats and get the more original style material. They are definitely good enough to put my dirty shoes on.
