    56-57 carpet

    HELP! Does anyone know the whereabouts for the correct color of Venetian Red Daytona carpet? Evidently, it's out of production. I ordered AK carpet and it is a "blood red" which is way too dark. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

      It seems that the major problem with the 56 - 57 carpet is that the weave pattern is incorrect.
      When installed the pattern should run diagonally across the car, not from side to side.

              PETE CIDELLA in Arizona http://www.ciadellainteriors.com makes the same carpet for 56 and 57 Chevy convertibles. Call them and see if they can make 57 Corvette carpet. Pete had CHEVS and VETTES for years. He may be retired, but the company is still there I think. Let me know what you find out.

                  Thanks for the tip! I'll call them on Monday. I'm also finishing up a 55 Belair sedan so they can help me there too.

                      They said they had the correct color and shipped yardage. It ended up being the same dark red color that Al Knoch had.
                      :-(

                          I think it is safe to say that if Al Knoch can't get the correct material it probably does not exist.
