Re: [FWDLK] 1958 Dodge Carpet

[eastern sierra Adj Services <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ray, & List, in 1957, only the Custom Royals & the Custom Sierra S/W's
had carpeting.

The Coros & Royals had rubber floor mats, but the Royals had
color-coordinated mats, while the Coros had only black-colored mats,
UNLESS the Coro had the "Custom Coronet" trim option, which featured a
notched front seat back (instead of a straight-across seat back),
special "Star Dot" upholstery, a 3" strip of chrome-mylar trim, across
the tops of the door & 1/4 trim panels, AND color-coordinated rubber
floor mats.

ANY carpeting, appearing in a 57 Coro or Royal was installed @ sometime
AFTER the car left the factory.

In 58, the Royals got: " ..beautiful deep pile  carpeting", too, but the
Coros, and the Sierra & Suburban S/W's,  still had  black rubber floor
mats, UNLESS the Coro was a "Custom Coronet" model, which had 'similar'
accoutrements, as to the 57's, EXCEPT that they also DID have
color-coordinated CARPETING .

So, to have carpeting in a 58 Coro, "you" need the special "Trim"
coding, on the Paint/Trim plate, notched front seat, special upholstery,
& mylar-clad interior trim panels.
