Does anyone know what color molded carpet from Clarks is the closest to the original color? I have a 66 Marina Blue convert, with the bright metallic blue interior. Clark's has a number of colors, available just thought I would get it back to as close to original as I can. The current carpet isn't original.

Thanks!

ACC who supplies Clarks has a larger selection of colors if Clarks doesn't have what you want.

ACC has about the same color selection, I just spoke to them. Their price is $322, Clark's is $219! They suggested I purchase through Clark's. Color is of course subjective, but I want to keep this car as close to the OEM color.

Ask Clark's to send you a sample of each blue carpet they sell. They will do that, so you can make an informed decision

Is your carpet original?

You could pull it up (or out) and check if there is the original "sticker" describing the carpet color stuck to the bottom of the carpet.

Surprised someone here does not know the correct code for a 66 Marina Blue car?

Assume it is one if the "dark blues"?

The current carpet isn't original, but is rather close to matching the upholstery. Someone's got to know, or I'll just wing it!

Monza67 on here has factory original carpet in his Marina Blue 67. Its not the same color as the seats - its darker, and more 'blue' in the spots its not faded, if I recall correctly.

My uncle recently acquired this '65 Monza Glacier Gray and Slate interior. The carpet is probably not original and he wants to keep it stock. We'll just finish installing the rotors and method wheels on the truck before we can clear the garage and take a closer look.

Not that this really helps the OP:

Surprised that someone does not know the code for a 66 Marina Blue interior.

Though not that many people monitor this forum, it seems.

I have a 65 Mist Blue coupe with what I call the matching "light blue / silver metallic" interior.

Checked my records and found that I used a Clark's BC (molded) carpet code.

I do not know if Marina Blue exterior cars had both a dark and light blue interior.

Somewhere, if I can find it, I might have the original paper off the bottom of the original carpet?

Since the different blues like door panels, door metal, kick panels, rear cardboard, etc. are often not the same anyway it's hard to say what would be best. Looking at the samples one of the medium blues would be my choice and I bet if you had a couple samples of the mediums you would be hard pressed to decide.
I like blue interiors anyway but the 66 is an especially nice true blue color in my view.

I used Bright Blue in my 66 Marina Blue Vert and it is a perfect match.

Thank you Layton, that is the color I went with.
