69Vett

any suggestions for carpet for 1969 Vert ?
brand ? loop or cut pile ?

Easy Mike

Your choice, but there was no cut pile for 69. All of it was loop.

YES...loop is the way to go.
Whose to buy...Al Knoch is who I use.

Cutpile wasn't an option until 1970 so to keep it original (plus I like the loop), I'd stay with the original loop carpet.

We recently got the ACC rear carpet molds fixed on the 68-69 cars, they fit like a glove. I did a write up on this fit on our facebook page.

To view these you'll probably have to like the page (I don't know that for sure) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...6912924&type=3

There is now a picture on the facebook page to help people understand how the dreaded rear wheel humps installed. (posted below)


I can sell AK and even pro-choice but the only one I'll install in our shop is the ACC carpet. 68-69 rear humps are the same.

Carpets are on sale this week too.. if interested, use the sale code "WILL20" and it will give you 20 off the price on our site. https://willcoxcorvette.com/catalogs...c_part_year=19

Ernie,
not meant to hijack OP thread but while your on the carpet topic do you have just the waterfall riser avail?
I have installed new front set from ACC and very happy.
Waterfall seemed to have some side shrinkage after 51 years, kinda like its driver lol.
Car is a 1968 coupe interior black loop.
