John, Philip,
Richard:
Thanks for the
suggestions. Rock Auto has dropped the model-specific carpet sets they listed
earlier. The Kanter carpets look suspiciously like the Newark Auto offerings.
Newark’s prices
are good and the quality is probably OK, but they have a number of negative
reviews for poor fit. The ACC offerings sound really good and the price is
attractive, but they only go back to 1957 for Savoy. I sent them a custom request for
availability. Of course, just about anything would be better than what I had
before.
Thanks in advance for
any other suggestions.

A
company called Newark Auto sells ready made carpet sets through JC Whitney .
Decent quality and fit. ACC (Auto Custom Carpet) may have molded carpet sets but
probably more money. Carpet matched with interior color in Belvederes but I know
my Dad's 56 Plaza had grey rubber mats and I am not sure what came in Savoys.

Carpet sets
I just repaired and
painted the floors in my 1955 Plymouth Savoy and I want to replace the old household plush carpet
that a PO
installed.
Kanter and Rock Auto
offer sets that are allegedly ready to drop in with bound edges and so on. Has
anyone had experience with one of these, or any other carpet sets? Was the
original pile or loop? There are many colors available today, but were colors
other than black available new?
Thanks for any
suggestions.
