hey there!!! I want to put new carpet in my 59 convertible le sabre, but the places i've seen thus far don't have tuxedo blue & black like in my car...could anyone decipher codes & maybe suggest a quality replacement carpet??..my grandfather bought vehicle new in 59 & gifted it to me 10 years ago..im confident its original carpet, as he never mentioned or had reason to replace it..he unfortunately passed this year, so i can no longer check with him..cowl data plate is as follows:
STYLE 59-4467 BODY FB 1930
TRIM 410 K8 PAINT J3
ACC D1 BG 16 U7
here's what i know:
1959 convertible le sabre
364 w/ power option(4bbl carb & manifold, dual exhaust)
pwr brakes,pwr windows,pwr steering
wedgewood blue with white top
blue/white vinyl seats(bench)
blue/black tuxedo carpet
i checked thru "yearly refrence" page w/o much luck...it stated for 59 the trim code of "410"represents green/green, also no mention of "K8"..what gives???...no listings (that i found) for accessory codes...
Any help,leads,suggestions,decipherings or info would be greatly welcomed!!!! thanks, jonny
STYLE 59 = 1959 model year
44 = LeSabre
67 = convertible 2 door
BODY 1930 = Fisher body sequence number
FB = Flint plant of assembly
TRIM 410 = Blue vinyl interior-- bench front seat
K8 = ??? I suspect this may have to do with the white inserts in the seats
PAINT J = Wedgewood blue and 3 = convert top color
ACC = Accessory codes
D1 = power top
BG 16= ??
U7 = power windows

thanks ..what about tuxedo carpet( two tone)...the distributors seem to only carry solid color carpet...mine is blue w/ black flecks.....is that a standard carpet for 59 le sabre?? have a great week, jonny
I do not know whether it was standard. I posted my best two carpet sources above.
yes, i saw them & appreciate the links!!! according to ACC, "electra" model in 1959 was the only model that came standard w/ tuxedo, others were dealer option add on when ordering, which might explain the mystery K8 in my trim code of 410 K8...thanks again, jon
