Hey Bill. Thanks! Welcome to the group. Any pictures of your car, I'd love to see them? What engine do you have in yours? I just finished installing my carpeting and seat belts. They came out great.

Now I'm looking to order matching car mats 'cause I don't want to get the new carpet dirty.

Nice ride; my 62 was white with red interior. I used 65 carpet and it fit okay, not perfect but it was a nice addition.

Dave, sorry It took two years to answer, just noticed your question. I'm not absolutely sure where the carpet came from as my father-in-law purchased it 6-7 years ago and it was stashed away for a while.

The car came with the radio delete plate and the lighter delete plug. There is an ashtray. I have since installed a radio and lighter. Although I could not bring myself to mount an antenna on the fender.
