I think so. Packards standard accessory floormats were much plainer and understated. A name first appears in 52 mats but that was just across the top margin above the ribbed section.
The 54-6 mat has the name in script in the middle along with being available in various rubber colors but no multi-colored printing or crests. None had a slogan.

Yes, those colorful floor mats are a club project and not a duplicate of an original Packard accessory, 99.9% certain.

I have those same mats. They are produced by the So. Calif region of Packards International and are available in different colors. They are NOt a reproduction of a Packard offered mat, just a nice aftermarket club project.

The only thing disappointing about the reproduction 1955 mats is that the script is not colored. Though portrayed to have that added contrast, my mats are all black unlike the ads.

We have faithfully reproduced these mats for the 1955-56 for the past 40 years to the same spec and look as the originals. The one pictured in the ad above is an artist's rendering and the shading is to add contrast and depth to the ad.
