Re: ****COULD BE SPAM**** Re: [Chrysler300] 300D Headliners

["Terry & Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I  believe Acme (From Road Runner Cartoon fame??) is the major supplier of 
most all headliners and will be the supplier if you buy from most other 
companies.  Somehow I got listed as retailer and can buy from them at 
wholesale--at least the last headliner I got (for our 35 Airflow Coupe) 
still worked.   Great people!

My vision of them still is two hundred little old ladies on their treadle 
sewing machines.
