Carpet fit 1960 1961

[Philip P.]

I found a new set of Al Knoch carpet (olive black) that are for a 1961/62. Are they different in fit/color than the ones used in a 1960. They looked correct but was not sure.

Phil,

Paragon Corvette has them as different part no#s but they do not list the differences, they are shown to both be the same olive green.

I have a new Black/oliive set for a 60, and need one for 61-2. Wanna trade? I know there was a reduction in tunnel size at some point, but don't remember if that was pre-60 or not.

The 61-62 carpet will not fit the 60. I would do the trade with Mike.

Mike.
Well now here is a problem , I did not buy them. I will try to track them down, if I do I will get them. I was wondering mainly about the fit well now I know, That is twice I did not "pull the trigger" on a item, that make it almost a habit I have to break. If they are still available they will be at a swap meet on the 19th.

No reason to be regretful about that. Many of us have bought swap meet items that did not fit.

Shifter "hump" changes in size in 1961.
