Re: Have trouble finding a replacement carpet

All:

Forgive my ignorance, but what is it about the correct '55 or '56 carpet material, besides color, that makes it so hard to come by? What are the differences between materials for '55 vs. '56 and Junior versus Senior?

I've heard of all sorts of carpet materials being offered: Wilton, Hogshair, Tuxedo, Salt-n-Pepper, etc. Apparently, Daytona weave is OE for 55-56-57 Chevies. What is the correct material for Packards? Is the carpet material offered in sets by Kanter not correct?

Perhaps we can expand this discussion even beyond the V8 cars.
