I am getting ready to install new carpeting in my '56. I am wondering if the carpet that is in it now is an original Continental Division product.

The door tag states 18-1B6M-112-2 which would make the carpet deep red. The carpet installed is dark brown (confirmed by the color under the front seat), very plush with a 1/2" nap. As you can see from the picture, the front seat carpet piece is very thick, with about an inch of padding as part of the carpet piece.

The bottom line is that the present carpet is obviously very luxurious and expensive. It does not look like an after market product So I am wondering if the original owner had her Lincoln dealer change out the carpeting for something better? Has anyone seen ultra plush carpeting in their Mark II?
