Pete Phillips Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The carpet vendor I normally use only sells carpet for Buicks back to 1939. The floor is somewhat differently shaped for 1938. Does anyone have a source for carpet that is ready to install, or do I need to buy it in bulk and cut my own pattern? This is for a 1938 Special 4-dr. sedan. I am aware that it would have had rubber floor mats in front originally, but I don't like rubber floor mats due to the moisture they trap underneath.

MCHinson Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I am not aware of anyone who produces that. I have been waiting for months for my local upholstery shop to do a few small items for my 1938 Century project and one of those items is the rear carpet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) I would think a local upholstery shop would like more work during this pandemic. Edited December 4, 2020 by JFranklin (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul White Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I think some car restoration businesses / suppliers here in Australia are doing a booming business especially earlier in the year when people were working/ staying at home and thought to themselves "maybe I should get off the sofa and do something with that old car". I sent a part off for chroming recently and was told there would be a 4-6 week wait due to their backlog of work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
