1967 Lincoln Continental 4 door convertible Carpet question

[GasWorksGarage]

hello,

 

does anyone know what the difference is between the 4 door hardtop and the 4 door convertible carpet is? I need new carpet but all I can find is hardtop.

 

Does anyone have any leads as well?

 

Thanks in advance.

I can't give you a specific answer, because my Lincolns

are from the next decade.  However, I have noticed that

of 1960's Lincolns for sale, the count of convertibles

well exceeds the count of sedans.  This is a complete

opposite of the count when they were new.

Since the convertibles are quite plentiful now, someone

must be making carpet sets that fit convertibles.

 

(By the way, the 4-doors are sedans with a center post,

not hardtops.)  But all the best to you in your search!

Yes I realized that after the post   (No pun intended ) 

 

I have called carpet mfg's all over 2 door and 4 door but not verts. 

 

Thanks for the insight.

Check the Lincoln & Continental Owners Club website, they have restoration resources for the 1960's Lincolns listed.

I have too many car pets already.

They are the same and the '67 sedan carpet fits perfectly in the '67 convertible.  I've done the swap.  Seats are the same as well, front and back interchange between the sedan and convertible.

Dave,

 

So this small duct is the reason they are saying that the sedan carpet will not fit the convertible?

 

thanks, Chester

"So this small duct is the reason they are saying that the sedan carpet will not fit the convertible?"

 

This is the duct for the rear heat. Both the sedan and convertible have this duct.  Trust me, my '67 convertible has '67 sedan carpet that I pulled out of a salvage yard car around 1980 and fits perfectly.  There is no difference.  Your supplier made his pattern from a sedan and assumes it won't fit a convertible.  Order the carpet.  If it doesn't fit, it won't fit a sedan either.
