Aero reproduction front floor mat
« on: May 28, 2013, 08:07:50 PM »
Here's a photo of a reproduction front floor mat from Brazil. Haven't tried the fit but it sure looks like an exact duplicate of my old tattered original.
Here's the link:

There's also another auction with both front & rear mats.

That looks correct to me also. The Eagles had the "goat hair" carpet inserts where the vertical lines are not. In other words, the areas that are textured to look like carpet actually are carpet in the Eagles (at least the 1953 Eagles and early special 1954 Eagles). I am not sure of the 1952's or the 1954's.

My 54 Aero Eagle Custom had carpet in the front and rear. A heel pad was sewn into the drivers side.

Its good to know that mats are available. With the currency conversion, the price is on-par with the KF repop mats. Of course, shipping would be pricey but expected.
