Try Kanter Auto. They sell the carpet kits with padding, as well as
the headliners. As far as the trunk kit goes, they don't do those, and I
haven't found anyone who does. For our car, we have decided to buy the
same carpet yardage for our trunk that we bought for the interior, and custom
fit it ourselves to the trunk. I do a lot of sewing and
upholstery, and so this is not a big deal for me. But, if you have
never tried something like this, you can make patterns using some old sheets
or something, and then use those patterns to cut out your trunk
pieces. It isn't hard to do at all, it just takes
patience to make sure that you get the fitting right, and as they say in
construction, "measure twice, cut once."
Hope that helps!

Hello All
I need some advice.
I have been having an extremely difficult time finding a
carpet (including the trunk) for my '59 LeBaron.
I have tried Auto Custom Carpets, Roberts Motor Parts, SMS
(they don't deal in carpets) and a few other local smaller dealers. All
to no avail.
Any advice or leads?
Thank you.
