Need some experts knowledge on identifying NOS 67' Fastback Carpet
Is it very obvious? Perhaps just by the backing you can tell ?

The loop/ pile is the most important thing because that is what you see. The backing and possible stencil on service carpets  is the short answer. I am away from files so someone else will have to do a picture tutorial.

I'll try to take a few pictures as a starting point.
Thanks Bob!

Bob, the heel pad - glued (simulated stitched) vs actually attached by stitching ?
