You could try First Class Parts. They are located at P.O.Box 261, Palmyra, PA - (717) 832- 0263. Unfortunately they do not have a web site. I have purchased some "soft goods" for my '62 LeMans, namely sun visors, kickpanels and a package shelf. The quality has been fine. I don't know whether they have a molded rug but it's worth a phone call.

Default new carpet

I ordered my carpet on-line from www.stockinteriors.com for what I thought was a decent low price & it came in a trim parts box, (drop shipped). Go figure?

Hey Peter, let us know how the fit is. I am curious as to how it fits over the small floor hump. The color quality looks good. How is the quality of the fabric?

Hi, my carpet fits about as well as the original. The tiny hump is not what I would call "super" impressed or molded, somewhat loosely formed, is more like it. Fitting it to the floor pan on a nice hot day with the top down & letting the carpet sit outside in the hot sun for at least 24-48 hours prior is what I did to make the job go easier.

Unhappy

Heavy bummer! I would have bought this too.

At 80 bucks the temptation is still there, but I won't. Thanks for the heads up Tom. Maybe I'll shift my focus back to www.stockinteriors.com.
Hey Peter, are you happy with yours?

Hi, overall I would say yes. It takes some time to fit it all the way around & cut out the holes, (neatly & none too large), for the bucket seat bolts & the safety belts. There is also dum-dum on the edges of the carpet where it's covered over by the sill plates, at least on a convertible there was.

FYI update:
I found the box my carpet came in (it was shipped direct from Auto Custom Carpets, Anniston AL) I ordered it in 1999 from California Pontiac Restorations in Santa Ana CA 92701 Toll Free: 1-877-504-8124.

I purchased carpets from Auto Custom Carpets and wasn't happy with the fit, especially the front over the tunnel. Recently bought another set from Trim Parts, and these fit nice. (Carpets aren't fully installed yet, just set in place.)
Seems like most vendors sell the ACC carpets.
