Re: Carpet
A remnant from a carpet shop is a good call . Cut it to size and then get the edges bound .

Re: Carpet
Hi,
I thought that the rear parcel shelf in saloons originally had a piece of hardboard(?) covered in the same colour material (vinyl / leatherette?) as the interior of the doors / seating.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Re: Carpet
A 1959 car would have had nothing at all originally. From about 1964 a covered hardboard panel was fitted. I assume that our friend just fancies a bit of carpet?

Re: Carpet
That was my thinking too.... I've restored the missing press stud strap to my '55, when I got basil his rear seat was just screwed in from the boot, with the stud post doing nothing.ManyMinors wrote: ↑Wed Sep 15, 2021 5:08 pm A 1959 car would have had nothing at all originally.

Re: Carpet
Yes quite true originally it was just the painted metal finish but I thought it would be nice to fit in a board and carpet it . It could always be taken out to keep it original if in future i wanted too . I have now sourced some carpet. Thanks for your comments

Re: Carpet
Just be sure your rear screen is watertight, otherwise you'll end up with damp carpet and wood sat on your metal parcelshelf..........
