NOS 1966 front set on ebay. Not cheap at $499, but the condition looks amazing.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-1966-66-Ol ... SwH-VeuyDK

NOS rear also $299.95

If these were 1968 I would be seriously considering them, but as they are 66, I thought someone else might be interested

If I hadn’t already redone the driver side I would probably go for it. But $500+ for the passenger side is a little steep for me.

Thanks for posting tho.

Wow! That floormat looks great. How did you make such clean cuts?

Mine is original and not torn but it has shrunken away from the edges of the metal frame by about 1/2" all around.

I think I'll make a new one like yours.

Where in Texas are you? I just gort back from San Antonio two days ago.

Hey Otto. I wish I had known you were so close. We could have gotten together. I am just north of SA about one hour. I have vintage cadillacs too.

I made a cardboard template for my floormat. Mine was shrunken away the same as yours. I cut the rubber material a little larger than the template and worked it in from there. Then glued it down with vinyl top adhesive. Worked great.

Hey Tuco, that would be cool. I'm probably going to be back in SA in a few weeks to finish some work at my brother's house. I live in Atlanta.

I'll let you know when I get dates nailed down.

Sounds good Otto. Let me know and we’ll get together while you’re here.
