Somewhere in my past I recall either reading or hearing the Senior carpet described as 'moss tread'.

As Don indicates from his vehicle, it substantiates what the parts manual (P. 331) calls out:

1) either woolen (pile, not loop for that era) OR mohair options for the model 1035 (I think that is what yours is) 7-passenger touring limo.

2) Mohair is less moisture absorptive (made from the hair, not the wool, of older angora goats, not the younglings; older goats have larger diameter coarse stiff hair suitable for carpet), so water droplets and snow bead up on its tips and are easily brushed off.

Wool, is softer and more available (cheaper) but absolutely needs a rubber coated/lined backing as it wicks moisture down. Separate loose top rubber mats (day to day that are removable) often preserve wool carpets until you get to pebble beach and throw them in your pickup truck.

Since either wool or mohair were optional, you can make the decision based on your desires or just replicate what that owner chose to buy at the time.

Is your front/driver compartment the same or did it simplify the chauffeurs carpet to a matting?

That was supposed to say, "you were NOT kidding", about those rear windows.
They suck.

I would want the engine in running order to check compression.

I'd start and run the engine for about 5 minutes, then shut it down and perform the test. That should give a fair idea of cylinder balance. If significant variation is observed, further testing can be done to determine is the issue is valve related or otherwise. I would obtain a good quality compression tester.
An engine that has not run much recently may have sticky valves or rings or carbon deposits which could lead to false indications of mechanical problems.

Otherwise good valves may leak due to sticky guides, carbon, or improper adjustment.

Piston rings can get sticky and oil rings can clog in engines that have not run regularly. Those issues, along with sticky valves, may clear up if the engine is run on the road with clean oil and fresh gasoline.

Stale gasoline can very quickly gum up rings and valves.

Are they for the removable B pillars?

For sure not on a convertible coupe.

Thanks will work the nut when I get boards complete.

I found these but not sure where they belong? I don’t remember removing them.

Any ideas what these are?

I have no idea …hopefully get into this weekend and see what’s going on..will report back..tks for the help

Would you mind emailing Carpenter and seeing what the ohm range of that sender is?

The 48-50 need either the original bimetallic design, or one that reads 20 ohms cold and 100+ ohms hot. Idk if these really even exist.

Since yours reads cold when cold, but colder when hot, maybe it's a different ohm range. And also backwards.

I'm working on something in another thread that is an electrical signal adapter to convert between an otherwise-incompatible sender and gauge.

Sorry Stewart

But nope.
