() Date: September 07, 2022 11:36AM Does anyone know what color molded carpet from Clarks is the closest to the original color? I have a 66 Marina Blue convert, with the bright metallic blue interior. Clark's has a number of colors, available just thought I would get it back to as close to original as I can. The current carpet isn't original. Thanks! 65 Crown Conversion Hardtop 66 Monza LA Built 140/4 AC Convertible 65 GTO Convertible 70 El Camino SS396 Huntsville, AL Re: LM Carpet Question Posted by:

() Date: September 07, 2022 02:08PM ACC has about the same color selection, I just spoke to them. Their price is $322, Clark's is $219! They suggested I purchase through Clark's. Color is of course subjective, but I want to keep this car as close to the OEM color. 65 Crown Conversion Hardtop 66 Monza LA Built 140/4 AC Convertible 65 GTO Convertible 70 El Camino SS396 Huntsville, AL Re: LM Carpet Question Posted by:

() Date: September 07, 2022 11:39PM Is your carpet original? You could pull it up (or out) and check if there is the original "sticker" describing the carpet color stuck to the bottom of the carpet. Surprised someone here does not know the correct code for a 66 Marina Blue car? Assume it is one if the "dark blues"? Re: LM Carpet Question Posted by:

() Date: September 08, 2022 06:22PM The current carpet isn't original, but is rather close to matching the upholstery. Someone's got to know, or I'll just wing it! 65 Crown Conversion Hardtop 66 Monza LA Built 140/4 AC Convertible 65 GTO Convertible 70 El Camino SS396 Huntsville, AL Re: LM Carpet Question Posted by:

Its not the same color as the seats - its darker, and more 'blue' in the spots its not faded, if I recall correctly. Eric P. DeWitt, IA Re: LM Carpet Question Posted by:

() Date: September 12, 2022 11:36PM My uncle recently acquired this '65 Monza Glacier Gray and Slate interior. The carpet is probably not original and he wants to keep it stock. We'll just finish installing the rotors and method wheels on the truck before we can clear the garage and take a closer look. Re: LM Carpet Question Posted by:

() Date: September 13, 2022 01:51AM Not that this really helps the OP: Surprised that someone does not know the code for a 66 Marina Blue interior. Though not that many people monitor this forum, it seems. I have a 65 Mist Blue coupe with what I call the matching "light blue / silver metallic" interior. Checked my records and found that I used a Clark's BC (molded) carpet code. I do not know if Marina Blue exterior cars had both a dark and light blue interior. Somewhere, if I can find it, I might have the original paper off the bottom of the original carpet? Re: LM Carpet Question Posted by:

() Date: September 13, 2022 05:44AM Since the different blues like door panels, door metal, kick panels, rear cardboard, etc. are often not the same anyway it's hard to say what would be best. Looking at the samples one of the medium blues would be my choice and I bet if you had a couple samples of the mediums you would be hard pressed to decide. I like blue interiors anyway but the 66 is an especially nice true blue color in my view. Jim Brandberg Isanti, MN CorvairRepair.com ![]() Re: LM Carpet Question Posted by:
