OneStopRestoration's Special Orange 69 Chevelle 300 Deluxe Coupe

[cheveslakr]

I've owned a few post cars, all having the rubber floor and have never seen that before.
One had the original floor covering and I was the first to disturb it......nothing but the same methods that carpet would receive to keep it down.
Nice speaker fix.

I had to fix the speaker holes in my dad's '65 Nova. I did it the same way you did.

I actually used that same carpet tack idea to do the same on my 72 SS Chevelle back in high school.The carpet was pillowing badly after my cousin used it & left all my windows open overnight during a heavy rain storm.We tried hair dryers etc,but nothing worked.
Drilled holes through the carpet into the floor,and Voila!,it worked.

I have a 69 300 deluxe hard top that had a few of those nails in the floor. I'm pretty sure it was to hold down the rubber mat or carpet in your case. Yours is on only the second time I've seen this.

Is your car a Baltimore built car?

Appreciate it, but this thread was started back a few years ago.

Your link got me to go back to the beginning, again and THIS pic grabbed my attention this time. I wondered why the column had been changed to a 3 on the tree ?? Looking at it further, it looks original to the car. Since '69 was the first year of the ignition/trans interlock mandate did GM just use this column for the 1st/reverse lever for the lock rod to activate ??? When you removed it, did you see any indication it wasn't from the factory ?
