i would think so. the only thing that i would think might make a difference is floor shift vs. column.

The reason for posting in a different section is us lazy mods don't want to have to move your carpet question to the interior section. It will also help you out when you use the search fuction to help find other information.

I think you will find the carpet is pretty much a generic "A" body item & will fit all 2 door/Conv "A" bodies of the proper era. Order by color. You will have to trim and/or punch holes where necessary for floor shift, console brkts, seat mounts, etc. Start w/ rear section, work from middle out, use trim adhesive after final locating & trimming if you choose to-helps keep it from possibly shifting.

Yes, the Cutlass and Cutlass Supreme are the same, the only difference is if the car has a 4 speed according to the carpet place, the 2 and 4 doors are different of course.
Auto Custom Carpets makes just about all of it for everybody it seems? It's usually drop-shipped from them when you order it.
They have another site they sort of discreetly sell carpet on called Auto Carpet Originals, much better prices.

Honestly, aside from the difference between 2-door and 4-door, automatic or manual, I'm pretty sure carpet manufacturers simply make the same carpet for all GM A-bodies for 68-72. Hence, why the 4-speed carpet for a '68 442 fits like complete sh*t. The hump on the 442 for that year is much lower than a Chevelle, and hence, does not lay right. You have to buy the automatic trans carpet instead.

You are correct. All 1968-1972 2dr Cutlii (Supremes, 442s, F-85s) all use the same carpet.
