Title: Awesome '68 Belvedere Now at Mecam's
Post by: 68X426 on April 30, 2017, 02:33:32 AM

That awesome 1968 Slant Six Belvedere (Ebay about 2 months ago) is now at the May auction at Mecam's in Indianapolis.

I couldn't find the original post, so I just made a new topic.

Rubber flooring instead of carpet? Cool car, I like it.  :2thumbs:

I wonder how the seats/bench are/is mounted to that rubber floor.

The rubber floor actually makes for a softer ride. It was a problem when driving the car on really bumpy roads though because the floor pans would hit the pavement, scraping the floors apart.
(This is not true)

I wonder how much more interior heat & noise you would get without the full carpeting.

Rubbr does make  decent sound absorber sometimes.

I had a 1970 Coronet Deluxe & my wife had a 1975 Duster that both had the rubber floor mats instead of carpeting. There was still the jute type insulation under it, so there wasn't really any difference in sound or heat. Both were also slant six cars with hardly any creature comforts, just heat, steering wheel & an AM radio.  :lol:
