    Been trying to figure this out for some time now.
    Did the 1965 Impala or full sized wagons have rear cargo mats?
    How about the 1965 impala wagons with the 3rd row seats?

    I have been looking for pics - I have been looking for mats online - nothing

    If you know kindly let me know -
    If they came with mats
    Where I could get one
    or an idea to make one if you have done it.

    thanks Don

    IIRC, my Caprice had a black rubber floormat in the way back footwell.
    That was a long time ago, so I could be wrong.

    Speaking just from my general knowledge, I don't think a '65 Impala wagon would have come with a cargo area mat. That is something that you would get from the parts department as an accessory item. Nicer wagons, like a Chrysler Town & Country, or maybe a '65 Pontiac Bonneville Safari, might have had a carpeted rear cargo area as standard.

    Mats were an option back then. Every
    thing was an option. Some dealers would just buy a pile of aftermarket mats and sell them for a nice mark up, Or throw them in to clinch the deal.
