Early A Wagon Carpet Suggestions?

JDMopar said

Early A carpet is all the same. About the only options are manual or 4 speed and color. Just to throw out an idea for the cargo area, I did a 64 Belvedere wagon years ago. I took all of the floor parts of the cargo area to the Rhino Liner guy here, and he sprayed it with a color to match the blue interior that was in the car. He just did the recessed areas, but built the thickness up slightly higher than the painted edges, so the painted parts would be less prone to scratches. It turned out really nice! If I put anything in the back, the lining prevented it from sliding around back there.

I took the cheap way out for the cargo area.
Went to the local home improvement store (Menard's) and bought an outdoor 6x8 area rug- basically a piece of non-backed indoor/outdoor carpeting- and cut it to fit the cargo area using a stencil I made from sheets of painter's masking paper. It's a real tight weave, so it cut cleanly and without any need to bind the edges. The color is an almost exact match to the ACC carpet in the rest of the car. I think the darn thing cost me $10-12 (and the usual 11% off!).
It serves it's purpose- keeps the back from getting too scratched up, and is easily removeable for cleaning out dog hair and tailgate party crumbs.
