I was very pleased with the kit I bought from Kanter Bros. a few years back. While the texture was not an exact match to the original for my 56, it was very close. And a very large assortment of colors so it should be easy to get an acceptable match to that as well. The kit was bound correctly and fit perfectly.

CORRECTION: I bought the kit from Bill Hirsch, not Kanter Bros.

Greg, what model is your '52? We plan to drive near Owosso next summer with our '52 Mayfair on our way to Petoskey in the Michigan hinderlands. The VMCCA Chrome Glidden will be held there in June. We should get our girls together!
FYI: The Hirsch product is a good one, but a bit pricey if my memory is right....

Dave, was it a multi-piece carpet?

The front was a single piece with the hump over the transmission properly cut and re-stitched and bound. The rear was also a single separate piece. And then two side pieces by the edges of the front seat, a riser piece for beneath the front edge of the rear seat (remember, it's a convertible), a single riser piece for the driver's side of the under-front seat, and a couple of pieces that went up where the fresh air vent outlets are. Or at least that's my best memory.

There's a great place in Oregon for 50s interiors. SMS Auto Fabrics.
Here is their carpet page. They do door panels etc in original materials.
