Hello all...im a new member but been lurking around for a while...I just picked up a 64 Parisienne 2+2. original paint, no rust except a hole in the floor board which is odd. Anyhow....I need to order new carpet...for the trunk as well and a new ragtop. Any place in canada or do I need to order from the states? Im in Edmonton alberta area.
Our site sponsor at the top of the page, NOS Reproductions can help you out and they are in Canada. I'm sure they can help you with the things you mentioned as well as a number of things they don't have listed on their website. It's best to call. I've bought things from them that they don't list but they easily got for me.

Thanks in advance!
Hi Darcy, Welcome! FYI, there is no such thing as a1964 Parisienne 2+2 ... you must have a Custom Sport (bucket seats/console?). Post some pictures!
I ordered my carpet (2 pc.)and rubber trunk mats (3 pcs. in a set) from NOS Reproductions.

Welcome Darcy. Darryl is correct, my 64 Catalina [gone a yr. or so ago] was a 2+2 but "Canuk" poncho would be a "custom Sport" unless you have a US car with 389 V8 Lets see some pictures, we like that on here!!!!!

Yes you are correct...it is a custom sport. Im actually heading to sask to look at it on Thursday. Overall it looks like a decent project car.
Yep, lookin' good.

This owner of this car passed away snowmobiling in the sparwood avalanche 8 years ago. It has sat in an airplane hanger and the family has finally decided to sell her. They poured in new fuel and fired her up. Even drove around the lot for a while. I will be invested at about 5K once I get her home. As long as the frame is good that is. Otherwise she wont coming home with me.
5 grand....I'm cryin' here. What a buy if its all good!
I'm in australia and have bought from Dale at NOS. good guy and seller.
tragic backstory though....

very nice! I love those 64's .... I may be Biased however.... I wish mine had white seats and top. Just doesn't make sense as mine were already replaced. Cant wait to see more pics as you go along.

Is there a way to get the top up without the hydraulics? I'm told he can hear it engage but dosnt move. Don't want to travel that far with the top down
Mine goes down manually very easily without moving the switch. I do have to stand on the rear seat to pull it half way up though, just because of the weight of it, or enrol the help of A. N. Other.
Next job after power steering control valve is to install the two new rams........
Thanks everyone...Bring trans fluid to top it up with and hope for the best....Funny thing is I found out that seat in the trunk is a spare. Spoke to him last night...Been sitting in the hanger for 30 yrs...undercoating is still on the car. Original mufflers are still on it and not rotted...Could be a good sign! looking forward to the 12-14 hour round trip tomorrow
