I don't know if they get more barren than this one - did all Tempests come with carpet or was that an upgrade?

I’m assuming the carpet was added later. The Tempest came with a full rubber floor mat that matched the interior color combo, at least my ‘64 did.

You almost never see the standard steering wheel with only the horn button, the Deluxe wheel had the horn ring.

Definitely a bare-bones no option car.

My Tempest had auto trans, power steering, Deluxe steering wheel and Deluxe wheel covers so still pretty basic. I suspect it was ordered that way by the dealer and put on the lot to attract female buyers.

I looked at the factory brochure. It says carpet was standard in the Tempest Custom, but no mention of it in the base Tempest. http://oldcarbrochures.org/United%20...ige-34-35.html

As B man says
Rubber wall to wall mat Tempest only
also no carpet on the door panels
would love to find front half for my 67 in black
it has a small cigarette burn on the hump.
My buddys loaded 65 wagon still sporting the rubber mat also.
