1968 Toro Carpet

I an searching for a new carpet. I have found sources, one supplies a molded carpet, and the other cut and sewn carpet. The second source claims cut is sewn is correct for the early Toros.
Is this correct?

You don't say where you are from (AAAAAAAAARGH!!!!) so check www.oldsclub.org for a Oldsmobile Club of America chapter near you. Alternately, contact www.toronado.org. Both are great sources for tech info, parts, fun, cruising, showing, racing, restoring....

And welcome!

Geez...

What does his location have to do with whether or not cut/sew carpet is correct for a Toro???

Anyway, I don't know how to answer this one. With the flat floors in a Gen 1 Toro, the carpets are hardly molded anyway. They kinda are in the back. They are two piece, overlapping near the belt retractors. If someone were gonna hold a gun to my head, I'd say molded, but it's not, really, I think...

Always helpful when recommending local pros to talk to. Especially since there are two different types being sold. Maybe one of them is right...maybe both...maybe neither...
I'd much rather say "See Joe McBlow in Egyptville...he knows his stuff" than give no info at all or a WAG (wild @ss guess).
