let me start by saying the previous owner installed a carpet with terrible quality and fit. i'm going to replace it.
i have seen 2 different options for the door sill on these cars (nothing is currently on the sill in my car, the carpet doesn't reach that far)
i have the extra sill pieces, but i can't remember if they came from my 62 parts car. the rear pieces don't fit nice so i'm thinking the extra trim started in 62

Re: 1961 proper carpet
Steve, my '61 came with the extra sill pieces. I don't have a very good photo of the original but will give you what I do have. If you enlarge the photo, you can see the edge of the extra sill piece.
On advice from my upholsterer, when we installed new carpet we went with what you're terming the "long carpet."....... which is a good way to describe it. I'm satisfied with the end result which is similar to your accompanying photos except in brown.
Hope this helps
