    Default Please help, need mats for my 1981 Ford Fairmont 4 Door Futura Squire Station Wagon

    In trim code "Z" aka medium Vaquero.

    I've checked stock interiors, rockauto, classic industries, FMR, SMS auto fabircs...so far no one has Vaquero color...seems hopeless. Anyone point me in the right direction?

    I've never done it but I've seen others paint carpet and fabrics when doing interior changes.

    I'd rather attempt do a replaceable mat than a whole carpet. May be an option.

    Keep your eyes peeled on ebay and cast a wide net. I see a lot of OEM Ford floor mats listed on there when I search. Your color request will require some patience. I would start with OEM Ford Floor Mat as search criteria and go from there. Unfortunately you'll get every idiot advertising aftermarket skull door lock knobs and flamed floor mats in your search results.

    It is a long shot, but you could also try Green Sales ( http://www.greensalescompany.com/ ), you might strike gold. At the very least they might be able to figure out what part numbers you need/want. There are other obsolete Ford parts sellers out there as well.

    NPD shows a listing for Vaquero carpet for the Mustang/Capri.

    https://www.npdlink.com/product/carp.../164046/150467

    Unless they have a supplier I am not aware of, I would bet the carpet is made by ACC. If ACC is the manufacturer as I suspect. They should be able to make you carpet or floor mats for your Fairmont. I personally would contact ACC directly or you can go thru NPD if you like. Good luck!

    Vaquero a name Ford used for a rusty copper burnt orange shade of brown.
    Dark terra cotta like.
    Read Vaquero is a Spanish American cowboy, similar to a buckaroo.
    If loose carpet is found, could get a local auto upholstery shop to sew some mats up.
    Nice color.
