Being it is a Seattle assembled vehicle, and since the original engine number is a late February number, and it took about two weeks or so to get that engine to Seattle, along with all the rest of the parts to complete the car, more than likely a early March assembly and still with carpet in the rear...probably the very tail end of what Ford had sent out there for assembly.

Go figure!

Hello, Steve and all...

I'm back at work on my Tudor, starting in on the upholstery panels which means I will soon need floor coverings. My search on "Tudor carpet" returned this thread which I missed while I was hiding in the weeds for a couple of years.

Steve, I have a similar car, which you saw when you were in Quincy a few years ago--a 1929 Tudor assembled in Seattle. Firewall date is 5-10-29 and body number is (I think--letters are clear but numbers are very shallow at the top) AS8576. It had carpet in the rear, as indicated by the original carpet snaps in the original rear and middle floorboards. Ron Rude has been all over my car and agrees the boards are OE.

So, I am about to order a new carpet. Snyder offers their FCC16A29-BRN
which is brown, and that's the only color they have. The only color specification I can find in the Judging Standards is brown for the 1929 Town Car.

Was brown carpet used with all '28-'29 Tudor interior colors? (Gray, blue, brown)
