Brian,
Does Joe still have one of the L72/M22 Biscaynes that he is restoring?

None in my car- Marc do you know if the carpet is original?

Barry

( By the way, what's the story on the Biscayne Joe is restoring?)

My Biscayne has carpet. I think I remember sales brochure saying all big cars had carpet in '69. I've never seen a '69 with a rubber mat.

I never have either, But I was told that that may be the case. I think Ford did away with the rubber mats in the full size cars in '65. Every single '69 Biscayne I have ever looked at had carpet. Urban legend I guess..BKH

GM specifications lists carpet for all big cars in '69. My original window sticker has typed in on the bottom, "this car includes all these features astro ventilation, hide-a-way wipers, lighter, carpeting, front seat latches, front shoulder belts, head restraints". I thought there might be something special for taxi's and cop cars but couldn't find anything.
