Carpet

My brother-in-law has built up a 52 Buick and is in need of carpet, anyone know a source for it?

Is he restoring it and wants the original stuff or just carpet?

The carpet I have in my 57 Olds (custom not resto) came from a carpet store. Needed a deep purple and went and picked out the color I wanted and ordered it.

If he is restoring the car, then he needs to go to a shop that sells restoration materials. I know JC Whitney does, but can not vouch for their carpet quality.

here is a link for some available on ebay. hope this helps.

I don't think buick used a full carpet in '52, I know Chevy did not, they had a rubber mat, with an optional throw rug for the rear seats.. in any case. my '51 Chevy is going custom, and I needed a carpet as pure white as I could get.. no auto supply had it, so I went to lowes and bought the most flexible straight cut white carpet I could find.. 25 year gaurentee too ( no stipulations that it has to be in a house, I checked :LOL: ).. I think it cost $94 on sale, for a 16X12 section, that is more than enough to do the interior and trunk

Thanks for the info. I also found one: www.stockinteriors.com
He put a 454 in the 52 and some kind of buckets seats and a new floor, going to paint it Purple:whacked:
