Thanks for the English lesson; it will come in handy when I order the
carpet.

You can't buy "carpet" for either a car or a house/room;
the word "carpet is a verb, as is the word "drape". One buys CARPETING and
uses it to carpet a car or room, just as one uses DRAPERIES to drape a
window.

Subject: IML: Imperial carpet
I'm in the process of replacing the interior of my 1965 Imperial
Convertible. I'm not sure if I should buy molded carpet from Auto
Interiors + Upholstery ($131) or 1A Upholstery ($171) or just have an
upholsterer cut the pattern himself. Has anyone dealt with these
companies? This carpet is loop pile cut but not sure if this is
correct. Maybe I should have household carpet cut and installed.
A friend purchased carpet for his 1965 LeBaron from JC Whitney and the
upholsterer said it crap and didn't fit right; he ended up altering
the carpet significantly to fit the car. I think the carpet looks thin and
cheap; not plush like the carpet Imperials were originally equipped
with.
Any input from someone who's already dealt with this would be
appreciated.
Thanks, Bryan
