1968 Nova carpet question
 
What company, if any, makes a correct carpet for a '68 4speed, bucket seats, without console. Everything I see has the tunnel bulge for the console and the bulge for the 1969 up style center seat bracket that goes over the hump. What are you using to get a correct look? Thanks.

This is just a guess since I do not have any Novas. But I would think that 1 st generation Camaro carpet would work?

Bench seat version might work...?? I can't remember if the 2 sections overlap with a finished seam. If they do that would do it.

If the rear edge is not finished...you could always have a local shop add it.

Bucket seat cars w/o console are rare...bucket seat cars with column shift are even rarer.

Good luck.

Order the non console carpet. Since no console is present you don't have the extra hump on your floor. The extra hump is spot welded to the floor so the console has some thing to mount to. The non console trim plate for your shifter screws to the floor. The trim edging along carpet is present for bench seat carpets so you will be all set there.
