Hi George,
It's been a long time since I remember seeing the original carpet. Actually
about 1979 when some guy was selling his B while going through a divorce. I
remember him showing me a faded spot on the back carpet where is x wife to
be spilled some chlorine bleach for the pool. I recall the carpet was a
very low closed loop nylon a bit on the tan, beige, or light brown side. Is
my memory playing tricks with me?
