Sounds after market to me. I don't recall GM ever putting tags on their carpet pieces. Is it still in good shape and reusable? If so, just be careful pulling it out.

They were an original supplier of carpets for Corvettes for many years. I have the same sticker from the original carpets out of my 68. That's a nice thing too find. I kept mine.

Might be the original carpet. The 341827 could be a GM part number. I don't know who supplied the '75 carpets.

Hey dude, I gotta know, how come your thread title is always "Vader Vette"??

I'm sure I'm not the only one that's wondering this...

I had the same tags on the carpet in my '73. I hated to replace it but it was totally trashed. Half of it was gone on the passenger side. I did keep the tags.
