RE: IML: EMBROIDERY IMPERIAL CAR MATS???

["Isenhour" <isenhour@xxxxxxxx>]

This is what I remember so I'd like to see photos especially of the shield.
Is the shield a Chrysler emblem or just a shield? Where there rear mats to
match?

Hey gang,
My '63 has (I'm told by the original owner) its original front floor 
mats in them. I went out tonight to look and it's marked "Chrysler 
Parts" on the passenger side. It's a semi-clear (now yellowed) style 
that is a single piece going up-and-over the center hump with a shield 
design on the center piece.

It'd look great with bound carpeted mats like a lot of new cars. But, 
that old one looks "correct". If anyone wants pictures, I can snap a few.
