What manufacturer makes the best carpet kits for the 1973 ES? the Interior Color code is 460-888. A rather nice blue!

    Go to the site map and look at the carpet styles and colors. The 1800 isn't listed, but they do make the carpet for it. Just fill out their estimate form.

    I got carpet for my 1800E there and have been very satisfied with the quality and the price. Plus they included a really nice precut pad.

      Thanks for the link! Left a message on carpet, seats, visors! Almost clicked the "Complete Interior" button when I realized I have already bought the interior panels. Got a bit excited!

        Please keep us posted on price and if you decide to get it quality, I would like to get a black set for mine.
        Thanks

          I never knew how hard it would be to find a manufacturer for my 1973 1800 ES! Here is what I have found:

          3 Manufacturers:

          AutoMat 516-938-7373 or 800-444-6473 (No Web Site)

          VP Autoparts 843-760-0170 VP-Autoparts.com

          Roadworks.com

          Automat is the best on quality as they have a wide selection of carpet types and color. 14 OZ. Nylon, Dense Nylon and yes the ultimate, Wilton Wool type I and type III. the wool is rocking but very exspensive. The 14 OZ nylon seems to be to loose and the Dense Pile the best for look vs. price.

          VP Autoparts is second on my list as they also make some very sweet interiors. they seem to use the dense pile in lieu of the 14 OZ. They are developing kits for the ES but already have for E and S models. ES should be ready this summer from what they told me.

          If your looking for carpet replacement for a daily driver and you want the look to be just OK, the 14 OZ. is fine.

          My bet is to sell the wife's 855 and get the wool but will most likely get caught and will end up with AutoMat's Dense pile. Nice people and will send samples to you to make selection from.

          Funny thing is, I will place my new black rubber floor mats from Sweedish Treasures down on top to protect from rubbing the beautiful carpet.

          Hope this helps everyone.

      Did this E kit include carpet for the console and the bound piece under the rear window?

        Steve,
        Yes, the kit included the piece under the rear window, the console, the cover for the parking brake, and the panel in front of the rear seat. They even included precut pieces that fit inside the console where the shifter is and the storage tray (not the lock box).
