You guys are really helpful. I appreciate the help.

I put my car in the registry.

Hogs Hair seems to describe the carpet exactly. It appears very difficult to find and the best wilton that matches appears to be the following.

Cinnamon 204 Picture attached.

I will check into the three tone houndstooth from Lebaron

I have lots of other questions.

Restoring 1946 Deluxe Clipper

I am restoring a 1946 Packard Deluxe Clipper Model 2112

I am looking for fabric/carpet to match the interior as close to original as possible.

I have original samples of everything except the seat cushions which came in a checkered or houndstooth broadcloth. Here is some information I found on the web.
There appears to have been two combinations available in the deluxe--code 56 broadcloth part # 386000 and 57 # 386004. I also found part #'s in an original Clipper Parts manual
part # 31.418 back carpet & 31.4175 front carpet.

The carpet is brown very course like horsehair and the front matt is ribbed rubber up under the pedals. Re-production carpet that would match that would be awesome or at least the brown carpet which I think was called moss ?

Headliner is tan
Door Cloth is broadcloth, one color darker than headliner more grey
Kick Panels are simulated leather in sort of an olive green.

Exterior Paint
Vermont Green
Vanderbuilt Grey

Any help is appreciated on where the best place to look would be.
