Hello, I'm seeking a 2 piece period correct carpet kit. Thought I saw at one time someone who made em. Preferably in Romany Red. Anyone know?
Thanks, Mike

Most carpet reproductions you'll find are made of Nylon.
Period correct should be cut-pile wool, at least for closed bodies and I guess for convertibles as well. I was lucky to find a NOS one some years ago after unsuccessfully looking for a new wool repro (i.e. mistakenly purchasing a Nylon one... :-\ ).

A good upholsterer can find the right material and color, and use the old one as a pattern to make a new one.
