I think the carpets are aftermarket, as they were heavily glued down with black tube cement. Makes for a scraping nightmare. So maybe the seat covers arent original. I'll see when I remove the covers. The cloth center section on the seats is not houndstooth. It is a brown velour ridged in lines matheria. like velour corduroy. Mike
