69 polara trunk mat

I only see a repro for the convertibles, does anyone know the difference between the conv. Trunk mat and the sedan or coupe one?

As the basic floorpan might be the same, where the spare tire is stowed would be different on convertibles. Which would relate to the slices for flaps to go under the spare tire mounting brackets on "the hump" between the wheels. Plus the new slices for where the spare tire mounts on the flat part of the floorpan.

How many re-sellers have you checked for what you need? The Polara probably had a thinner vinyl mat with a colored pattern on top of it. My '70 Monaco Brougham DH43 had a black carpet back there and a black carpet tire cover. Looked so much better and the carpet did not trap moisture under it. It went nearly to the back seat lean-back, so it gave the illusion of a deep, black cave past the spare tire.

Enjoy!

My original is a plaid pattern vinyl mat. I like the idea of the black carpeted one, I guess it was only on the Monaco?

So the conv. mat would fit, it's just cut in a different place?

The carpet mat might not be correct for the Polara, but I would do it as it does not trap moisture under it. From normal temperature swings, over time.

If they just sliced the mat, that would be easy to put some Gorilla tape on the back to keep things together. If they actually cut slots, that would be another thing.

The difference is the location of the spare tire bracket.

Sedan/Coupe

Convertible
