carpet padding for deluxe coupe

[Twocollies]

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.

What is difference between a standard and a Deluxe coupe?

One thing is the cowl lights were standard on them.They had a nicer interior .designated as 45-B DLX and I think only made in 30 and 31.

Thank you just one more question. Does it state deluxe on the registration, ownership or title ?

Thank you for the responses. I am looking to purchase and the seller called it a deluxe and I wanted to know what to look for. Sorry I high jacked the post.

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.

A very thorough response, thank you!

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.
