Carpet

[Kevin Robles]

Can anyone advise me about my carpet.  I have a 64 CDV with midnight blue carpet.  It appears to be original and when I look at suppliers carpet kits they are a loop pile.  My appearently original carpet looks more like a plush type pile.  Can anyone tell me what the correct carpet should be, and any recommendations of a good suppier for carpet kits  Thanks Kevin in Tampa

All the details regarding original cut and material used for carpet is posted in Carpet link on help page. Carpets used were different between model years and body styles. For example in 1964 Coupe DeVilles had cut pile, however, 62 Series Coupes had loop pile ... Regardless of options.

Most of them have the carpet tag under the front section. They are pretty cool as they have part #, color code, body styles and date code. Here is the one from the 64 Convertible I just parted out:

The 1964 originally came with Tremont quality, rayon-nylon, cut pile. In 1964 the 62 series came with the loop pile.
