    Was Shag carpet standard for a 72 Comet?. It looks O.K. but is gonna be tough to keep clean.
    I don't recall seeing shag carpet in a car before now.:rolleyes:

    I still have the original tan shag carpet in my 74 Mav. Never saw it in a car before either, and it is a bit hard to keep clean. I've been debating whether or not to take it out....for now I just have some regular floor mats down. What color is your shag and interior?

    Both are Tan also. I'll probably just keep it till it becomes unpresentable. I hate to pull something original off if its in good shape.:)

    The70's had some good things come out of them (Mavericks)- but IMO shag carpet is one better left there....along with fondu pots, green referigerators, and those dumb plastic zip up the side boots. I had a green referigerator in my garage and tried to cover that thing with as many stickers and posters as possible.
