That is interesting Stuart. This may explain why the heel pad placement is slightly different in our Catalina's than your Bonneville? If they used your original Bonneville carpet for a pattern, it would probably fit a little differently in a Catalina or other full size with a "Slim Jim" transmission tunnel. To get really crazy about this, there would be 4 different carpet patterns really to fit all the 4 size cars perfectly, possibly 6. Bonneville with wide tunnel for Super Hydro trans, then one for 4-speed. Different one for bucket seat vs bench? Same for short wheelbase "Slim Jim" and 4-speed. Bucket vs bench? Or does ACC just make one carpet set based on your sample and say make it fit all the full size cars? That would be my guess. May be why my carpet doesn't fit as snug around the tunnel as it could. Carpet was probably made for the wide Bonneville tunnel. Crazy stuff.
