Call Joe Suchy. He is a wealth of knowledge, and very pleasant to deal with.

I got the plad mat from Classic Industries for my 64 Belvedere & I shoulda sent it back. Its way darker than my orig, but the real bummer the front part is spliced & glued to the rest. Guess the manufacturer can't get pieces that large into their printer. Too bad they don't tell you in their ad. I'd call Joe Suchy & see if his are one piece & if the color is correct.
What are you guys talking about?
Those trunk mats are readily available everywhere.
REM makes them and If Joe does not have them then other vendors do.
I just got one for my 62 Fury and 64 Savoy and they are the same for Dodge.
Joe is very good but knows very little about 62's.

There are basically two different manufactures for the trunk mats that all of the vendors purchase from and that being ACC Carpets and REM. ACC has some of the vacuum formed mats that REM does not offer, but for the most part there is coverage for all of these cars. No matter which manufacture, they both have their good and bad points. Another alternative is I know that REM will sell material in bulk and you can use your old mat as a template and cut your own out. REM will sell only to their network of vendors where ACC has a vendor network as well as selling to the public.

The one I got from Classic Industries is the vacuum formed, molded to fit trunk mat & its anything but an accurate reproduction. I'll take some pics in a bit so you can see how they were to cheap to make a one peace mat so had to glue 2 pieces together. I already cut it so the jack would fit, otherwise, I'd send it back. But I will call them tomorrow & find out what vendor they use.
I just got these pics cropped & resized, so you can see how noticeable the seam & pattern mismatch are. Classic Industries gave me a 50% credit & said they've had other complaints so will be looking for another supplier.
