    Maybe somebody knows if a carpet from a 4Door Sedan fits in my Ranch Wagon?
    Or where i could buy a molded carpet with mass back specially for the Wagon?

    Greetings from the Rheingau Valley!

    :cheers:

    Your car looks good!

    I would think that carpet for a four-door would fit a station wagon, although there might be slight differences. The large parts sellers would probably know for sure. If you are not confident about your English, you can send an e-mail to the suppliers I listed, and you should get a response. Also ask if they will ship internationally if it is not mentioned on the website. I have had good results from Mac's and Dearborn Classics, but I do not know much about the other two. Good luck!

    Thank you for the nice welcome!

    Yeah, i am always wondering about the Fairlane, too!

    It came from California last Year to the Netherlands and then to Germany.
    I bought it this Year and head much fun this Summer and some worry with the Overdrive, because the Planetary Gear was broken. But i got a new one and we are back on the Road. I must say: Overdrive is Evil!

    The German pre owner told me that the Fairlane must heave been a Collectors Car for over 10 years in California.

    It would be really interesting to know more about this car.

    A Picture from the Shipper in the Netherlands:

    @m261398: Thank you for your information! I think, i would order the molded carpet for a 4Door Sedan @ rockauto - they heave got a nice price and i already bought some more parts there...

    Another Question: Does anybody heave an Idea where i could attach some belts in the back?

    Thank you!

    Yeah, i also always wonder about the Wagon...

    The last owner in Germany told me, that it must have been a collectors car for the last 10 years in California.

    We had much fun this summer and some worry with the overdrive, because the planetary gear was broken. Fortunatelly i was able to get a spare part and we got back on the road :yippee:
    But i have to say: Overdrive is evil.

    @m261398: Thank you for your information!
    I think i will order the 4Door Sedan Carpet @ rockauto - the price is nice and i already ordered some more parts there...
