My "new" '76 Volare wagon arrived yesterday and one project is clearly ahead of me - replace the carpet. I've replaced carpeting in several other cars but never a wagon. Right away I saw that the carpeting attached to the rear seat back and floor area is prebound and screwed into the metal. There are also a couple of small pieces fitted over the wheel wells on each side. Do you know of any vendors that sell carpeting for the wagons?

For the earlier B bodies it's the same as 4-door sedan carpet.
You might need to either specify "wagon", or maybe send a sample, or get additional carpet (as a roll) to do yours; I'm not familiar with your body style.
Both my '63 & '64 were sedan pattern, and I requested 4-speed;
same price & delivery time as a "regular" order.

I'm going to send a piece of old carpet to a vendor in hopes they have something close in color. This car, just like all the others I have worked on, has that "old car" smell, sort of mildew like. I am trying to figure out a way to get rid of that while I prepare for the carpet replacement. Anyone tried using something like "Febreeze" to get that darn smell out?

Got any pics of your wagon you can post?

My car is not nearly as those on this site, but I will try and post a photo.

Looks like a really nice piece! There's a bunch of us longroof junkies here...

My is to contact the big companies and see if any have a complete kit first. If you find no joy, try the local upholstery shops. Many times, they can do a pretty good job, with the only issue being curves. You may end up with a formed carpet from a big place for the front areas and some extra to do the back, as mentioned. It's best to find out all your options before pulling the trigger, and getting all the raw material from the same place if possible so it matches. When you have done your research, please post your results here for the next guy.

Jeez, Bill, tell me that's a pic from last year; I know you're tired of me raggin' on ya!
