Factory carpet material

[DAN SPURR]

Question: would a 64 Coupe Deville originally be equipped with cut pile carpet or nylon loop? Looking to replace me carpet, but the carpet on the lower rear front seat seems to be cut pile. I prefer the loop look, but I'm trying to keep it original looking. Any discussion?

The 62 Series cars got the cheaper loop type. The deVilles and up got cut pile.

I've never been able to find a source making the exact Tremont style cut pile we need.

Has anyone here?

I tried for quite some time to find cut pile carpet for my 64 Sedan De Ville and could not find anything. My carpet was not worn but it did have stains. So, I took it out had it cleaned. There is someone here in CT that does leather and vinyl repair and dye work, so he came out and dyed the carpet matching the color perfectly to one of the kicks. That was 10 years ago, and it still looks great.

I got my carpeting for my 64 convert ( cut pile ) on eBay a long time ago 

I had the rubber backing added that is optional to the backing for noise reduction and moisture protection 

Got the mats to match the carpet with the Cadillac logo placed on them 

A very nice look 

They will send you a sample of the carpet to confirm style and color 

At that time I remember the carpeting being a perfect fit and seemed inexpensive for the item

I think it was under $200 then  —-but was long ago 

Enjoy
