Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

Look in the parts book under accessories. All are listed there. Even white?

I saw one of these deluxe floor pads, (mats?) at a PAC national Meet, in a car.

This trade letter does not list all that are listed in the V8 parts book, under accessories tab.

Leedy is correct on the floor mats. I have had a number of the "Car Pets" sets over the years. I also have one the 1956 mats with the emblem. At one of the national meets I had it displayed in my 400. That may be the one that one that was talked about earlier. The one I have is an awful looking color of green. Years ago I believe Tucson Packard looked into having them made and it did not make economic dense.

Just visited the cocomats site and they do not list Packard as a make in the order section. Did you have yours made expressly for a Caribbean? Does one need to talk directly to them in placing an order, assuming they do have the correct patterns?

Esquireman, I had Coco Mats custom make a set of their mats for my 1963 Avanti. Process was easy. I called, and talked to one of their reps who outlined what I needed to do: Make a stiff paper pattern of the mats; select the color and type; and submit the order. The mats arrived a few weeks later and were right on. They are high quality and the appearance is just what I wanted for the Avanti. Not inexpensive, but well worth it, in my opinion. Give them a call and see what happens. Good luck. JWL

Thank you for this information! It is truly a coincidence that in addition to wanting floor mats for our 56 Patrician, we are seeking mats for our 72 Avanti II!

I hope they kept your templates!

Esquireman, on the Avanti, I had Coco Mats custom make the rears. They have a pattern for the fronts. Here is a photo of the interior of my Avanti. Hard to see, but I went with the black and orange pattern. I recently sold it. JWL
