In the past I have dealt with nos reproductions in Ontario, Canada. Send them a small sample of your carpet and they will send their samples back. Take you sample from under the door sill as hat is probably the only place the colour is original. Good luck

The problem with anything from Canada is getting it shipped to the US I've been shipping some stuff from the Post Office and with this Covid issue there are a lot of restrictions on things being sent . I've found a couple of vendors in the US . Does anyone know if the carpet in the sedan is different ? On two of the vendor sites I've been on they mention a more plush (?) version .

Sedan and Wagon carpet are the same.

99% of all carpets you will find are all the same and made by ACC. Just go to Rock Auto and order it because it's about the cheapest you will find it.
It makes one hell of a difference in these old cars.

NICE ! my interior is the same color so what color is the carpeting you ordered ? Also does it have the heavy underlayment ? Stockinteriors .com sells a carpet set with "mass backing " for an extra 54 bucks and 3 different grades which I have been looking at plus the stuff is made here in the US . Thanks!

I just ordered whatever Tan color Rock Auto had listed. It is the generic carpet with no backing because I just wanted to get the old junk out of it quickly.
The carpets with the backing will fit better than mine.

Same applies to floor mats. They sent me 4-5 different samples to choose from.

Don't know why I didn't check Chevy on rock auto, there is no listing for rear carpet in Olds.

Purchased ACC carpet for my OCC through Rock Auto. Price good and color match excellent. I would recommend avoiding the "mass backed" carpet because it is difficult to mold around the corners and to drill through for pilot holes. If I had to do it over I would insulate with dynamat on floors and tunnel then apply the non-backed carpet over that.
Go for it because your vehicle will look and smell a whole lot better.

Did you use the 5% off code in the vendors section for rock auto?
