Interesting that there's no indication in the parts book of that front seat bottom platform pad (or springs) as a service part, yet, there they are - on more than one car.

My Carib H/T is also MKN paint with 296 trim set. The felt over the rubber pad was a bit too light to be called, black, but darker than the dark gray carpet, IIRC. In the absence of any indication to specify trim set number ofr replacement, but supported by unrestored original cars, I'd be inclined to agree that the felt was color-keyed, to the interior color.

Meanwhile, there are some spots in my original cushions where the foam had begin to pulverize, but has outlived many others built in the years since 1956.
