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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "G Barker" <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Dan Watts" <dan.watts@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "'Gloria Moon'" <agmoon@xxxxxxxxx>; "'Chrysler 300 Club Intl'" <chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 10:56 PM Subject: ****COULD BE SPAM**** Re: [Chrysler300] 300D Headliners > Dan Watts wrote: > >>HI Gloria and All, >> >>I visited the following company last year in search of info for a '60 >>Dodge. >>They have 15,000 to 20,000 sq. ft. of headliner materials and maybe able >>to >>help you.
