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.
