55 buick century 2dr carpet

[Lucibindle]

Where is the best place to get a carpet kit for my 55 century 2dr? Has anyone delt with a company called stock interiors?

I will be keeping tabs on any answers you may get, as this question pertains to my car as well.

I purchased headliner material from them about 6 years ago for my '92 Riviera.  Asked and received samples beforehand without any fuss or muss.  Received good quality material at what I considered a good price.  Since my previous transaction was without any issue, I do plan to purchase both 'carpeting-to-fit' and 'by-the-yard' for the '92 from them this spring.

SMS has Daytona type carpet. Their carpet is not a drop in replacement though. Quite a bit of cutting was needed to fit. Carpet was bound nicely at the edges but most of this was cut off anyway. That said I think it looks pretty good. There was enough scrap  left to make four large floormats.

I have never dealt with them, but almost all sewn carpets you buy from any vendor comes in an ACC (Auto Custom Carpets) box. They have the proper Daytona weave in many colors.

Check around for the best price. I actually bought a set for a 55 Special on rockauto for under $400 once a few years ago.

I just entered all the info for a 1955 Century hardtop in black Daytona for $265.

I was actually able to find an original oem replacement at a swap meet. Lucked out big time!

What model is your 55? I see a 4 door trim, but your gauge cluster is different from mine, I have a flat top dash with mph gauge in the cluster

Judging by the chrome trim over the front seat backs, I'm gonna guess that's one o them pretty nicely optioned Roadmonsters, and I mean that in the most admirable, jealous, way! Nice interior! 1955 horn button?

And the fact that it's not a split back front bench. My interior is a little different than a normal 55 cent.

I installed an ACC set in my 55 Roadmaster - it was cut a little too oversized at the cowl kick panels, but could tuck extra behind panel even though I would have preferred them to be cut the same as originals,
