I'm happy with the ACC carpet I got for my "lesser" model.

Subject: Re: IML: Carpets on Ebay
| I would like to add that Auto Custom Carpets Inc. of
Anniston Alabama is the
| source for most if not all of the vendors discussed here.
I have bought
| carpets from them for various cars - they do not have cut
pile of the
| quality used in Imperials or other fine cars, but they
will make you custom
| fit carpets out of cut pile if you wish. This is what is
in most "show"
| cars - it looks OK, but it is certainly not the quality of
the original.
| If you want to look at some of their products, go to
| www.accmats.com They do not list the cut pile for
some years of
| Imperial, but if you contact them, they will custom make
them for you. I
| have recently done this for the dark green cut pile carpet
in my 67 Imperial
| Convertible.
|
| It seems to me that someone with an 81-83 coupe started
this discussion. Of
| course ACC does not have carpets anything like the
"bordello" style that was
| used in our favorite EFI coupes - I'm sure there is a
source for this,
| perhaps in the interior decorating or costume field, but I
don't think
| you'll find it from an automotive carpet supplier.
