rubber floor mats

1st Official Post

    My mustang front floor mats have horsehead figure and mustangsunlimited and virginiaclassicmustang sell floor mats with running horse figure.Which mat type is original?

    I've got the running horses ones in my '65 Convertible, they are a licensed FORD product, I believe that these are a duplicate of the originals that were a dealer option in 1965.

    I've seen the White in a few cars at the shows, and rather they are originals or repros I'm looking at they seem to get dirty and yellow pretty quick.....I would recomend going with whatever color your carpet is on these.

    My Hi-Po has a set of original "FoMoCo" floormats (front and back) that don't have any horse figure on them. They have the ribs and are shaped just like the repops. Has anyone ever seen a set of these?

    Floor mats were a dealer accessory, not a factory item. Whatever type of mat that 'came' with the car was either a Ford Parts Department mat or something from the local auto store that the parts department manager used as a replacement.

    Yes ran across a couple in a wrecking yard a couple weeks ago



    And here is an example of a later generic mat

    Those mats are an interesting piece but they are definitely not a Ford item.

    65 Koupe early San Jose Phoenician Yellow 4 speed
    66 GT Koupe Dearborn Blue 4 speed
    66 KGT San Jose fastback pony interior Silver Frost 4 speed
    64 Falcon sedan delivery 289 4 speed
    65 Ranchero 289 4 speed
    66 Corvette roadster 427/425 4 speed

    If memory serves me correctly, those are vintage JC Whitney. They also had some with racing stripes offsetto one side...can't remember if those had a horse though.

    Hi Joe,

    I have those with the offset red, white and blue stripes

    with a horse in the middle in my 67 Shelby. Have had them for at least 30 years.

    The mats with the stripes are being reproduced now. At least I have seen them advertised for sale...


    Yeah, I bought a set when they first came out as that was the style of mats that were in my car when I purchased it. They are made by Mustang Market, the only place I've seen selling them is Auto Krafters. Unless they have done something to improve them the stripes turn yellow/brown the first time the sun hits them...


    Here is a link to Auto Krafters auction:
