The carpet should be more of a maroon color , not a bright red.
The first '65 Skylark I was doing so happened to be one of those "little old lady " cars. It was a low mile car, but suffered from MN winters and an engine fire. The interior was in unbelievable condition and needed nothing other then a cleaning. When it received a Senior award and a score of 400 points, the interior was all original and still is. The carpet color is a deep blood red / maroon color.
