hey all. anyone have recommendations for carpet for our 3 seat wagons? looking to cover the area under and rearward of the second seat, up to the edge or the 3rd seat cushion. also, seeking 3rd seat frames.
hey all. thinking about ACC carpets any feedback on those? i know i will have to cut and stitch some for the area under and behind the second seat area. still seeking third seat frames. thanks Gerald
I did a lot of research on ACC. Make sure you have a "current" sample of what ever carpet they have that you are considering. I toyed with what carpet to purchase for several years. I was not in a hurry, and ordered the same color sample from several of their vendors. The samples all had a year printed on a piece of paper attached to the sample. When I compared the various year samples of the same color carpet from ACC, they were slightly different in color, by year.
Make sure you have the current year sample!
When I inquired with the various vendors that sell ACC carpet, I would ask how much additional carpet I could purchase. I needed ('57 Ranchero) addition carpet for the lower portion of the doors, the lower portion of the console, a portion of the kick panels and the lower portion of the bulkhead, between the cab and the truck bed. I also wanted additional material in order to make two sets of carpeted floor mats.
The standard response to my request was TWO additional yards. I wanted more than that.....4 yards.So I kept trying and I got lucky and found a ACC vendor that would and could sell me more. That vendor is Automotive Interiors (800-814 7533) Belchertown MA.. I believe that my friend that will be doing the upholstery work, will not need the pre-cut and sewn carpet set I purchased,given that there is a console,and my Ranchero has flat floors. The carpeting can be
accomplished with the additional material I purchased, and I'll sell the pre-cut and sewn carpet set. BTW, the set is Red.
Regardless of the location of the ACC vendor, the carpet ships from Alabama.
Hope this helps.

Automotive Interiors is who I got my headliner from. Couldn't have been happier all the way around.
I have used ACC in five builds over the years. Perfect fit on every build. The 65 Bird was a unique color and fit, perfect. Very happy with their product.
DM me about the third row seat parts. I have a parts car that is a 1957 Country Sedan, 9 passenger. I may have the parts you need. I am on the other side of the country, so shipping may be expensive.
