[Zmagnette] Slightly OT-Carpet adhesive

[John Park]

Nice car Dave. I remember my parents having a '56 Savoy in 2 tone green. A
bit different grille I think and I actually like the fins better than those
on your 55 (sorry!). They then traded it in on a '61 Savoy in 2 tone green.
They lost that one in '64 when a 6' x 3' x 2' chunk of ice fell from the
neighbors roof through most of the car very shortly after my Dad parked it.
Lucky for him it was just a shocking experience and not the end. They then
bought a '64 Savoy, 225 slant 6 and 3 on the tree. The car I legally learned
to drive in. All 3 Savoy's were 4 doors and all very nice for their price
range.

Hello Allen,

>David, is your Plymouth like this one?  These were really timeless designs.
I'd love to have one, 

 

Close, but that's a Belvedere hardtop; mine is a Savoy four-door post. Here
it is under the locust. I suppose Virgil Exner and Gerald Palmer had a lot
in common.

Not really OT, as it is generic, but I am fixing to install a new carpet kit
in my dear old 1955 Plymouth Savoy (another staid old sedan/saloon).

 

I'm wondering if any of you have a favoured carpet adhesive or protocol you
might suggest. I've just had very limited experience and I don't want to
botch it up.

 

I have a nice (although lightweight) loop carpet kit in two pieces (fore and
aft) with bound edges and an attached pressed felt-like backing. I'm
thinking I don't want to weld it down and I'll probably have to do a lot of
fussing to get it all into place. Any suggestions as to brand or type of
adhesive you've had good results with? Or does it need anything at all?

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Cheers,

 

David
