Default carpet padding for deluxe coupe

I have a 1930 deluxe coupe and trying to find out what kind of padding was used under the wool square carpet. I did find out that it was black in color, but what material was it made of? Is there a upholstery shop that sells it or makes up the carpet complete?

No padding was used underneath originally.

While not exact, most Model-A upholstery kit manufacturers can cut & bind you a Coupe carpet.

Differences between a Standard 45B and a Deluxe 45B are the Deluxe has:
Paint colors not available on the Standard Coupe;
Cowl Lights & single bulb headlights;
Interior upholstery materials such as Mohair, Bedford Cord & Broadcloth;
Dome light;
Wood grain finish on dash rail & window moldings;
Carpet floor covering;
Brown rumble seat upholstery.

Well, since the thread has already gone off the rails...

The Sport Coupe has more features in common with the Standard Coupe than the DeLuxe - always found it curious that a coupe called "Sport" wasn't fancier.

Yes our 1930 Deluxe Coupe is noted as CPEDLX on the registration ( Pink slip CA.) from the sale date of October 11, 1930. My Dad bought it in 1958 from the original owner.
