For my '81 (last year of rubber mats) I have
a piece of carpet for the passenger area and a
piece for the aisle.  I leave the front footwells
with the rubber.  The carpet goes on top of the
rubber mats.

Every few years I buy a scrap of tan carpet and
cut the large rectangle and the narrow, tapered
rectangle (with cutouts for the shift and the
parking brake).  Then I sometimes just leave
the edges, but lately (wanting a classier look)
have had the edges bound.  Carpet cost is
usually ~$45. The binding about the same.

When I have carpet cleaned at home or in one
of my rentals, I pull these out and have the
cleaner do them too.  He makes them look like
new!
