I have partial photos of mine and no longer have the 1970. FYI--the tags were stapled into the carpet under each bucket seat.

Thanks,

Funny story:

Today I was out with my dad in his mostly original 1969 Catalina convertible. When we returned to my house, I got out of the car to find the carpet tag was laying on the floor mat. I remembered seeing something posted on the PY forums just recently, so I took a photo of the tag with my cell phone. I searched and searched recent threads that I was looking at (except this one) and didn't find what I was looking for. Then I used the 'search' function and low & behold the posts I was thinking about were in this thread. It was right at the top of the results for searching "carpet tag".

Nice to know the search function actually works sometimes

Anyways here is a photo of the original carpet tag that was stapled to the carpet. It was built in Linden NJ (E in VIN) and built the 4th week of September (094 on body tag). Of course this is a full size, but I thought maybe there was interest in this photo.
