I believe that is the same extruded plastic piece that is used for 58 Plymouth. It’s clear plastic with a chrome inlay. I believe someone was reproducing this. But even if they aren’t the same, or I don’t have my facts right, this can be created using a 3D printer.

I don't know if it helps or not, but Daryl Miller had this headliner in his Tahitian Coral coupe. It was restored and I recall that SMS Auto Fabrics did this for him. Unfortunately Daryl has passed away and I can not ask him about it, but I do have pictures of his finished headliner. I have attached one image to this email...would send them all, but didn't want to melt down anyone's computer. LOL!

I want to add one more obstacle to restoring the optional cloth

headliner and that is the plastic/vinyl push -on retainer. Without it the side panels and the cloth center panel are not retained. I consider this extrusion to be unobtainable. On my original I am reluctant to try and remove it from the retainer; it will surely break. I have a short piece to show the section. I seem to recall Jeff Carter telling me that the Dodge B-Van using something similar. Also a short stainless end cap is used at each end. Front cap is shorter than the rear. With a fresh vinyl retainer installation would be a snap. Comments welcome.

Hi Dave, John and Others,

Thanks for the info. It’s a car I’m looking at. I don’t have pictures of the complete headliner, but will have asked for them. I believe it has the longitudinal strips for the headliner. If I do, I’m happy to make whatever patterns you need.

Thanks,

You don't often get email from davemihalko@xxxxxxxxxxx. Learn why this is important

I have been considering looking into having a small batch of this material made. I have a sample of the squares. Is it possible to make a paper pattern of your original so I can get spacing of the lines and the squares.

Thx

Dave

Sam didn’t say which headliner he has but let’s assume he has the rarer 3 piece cloth. Attached is a picture of Jack Wiltse’s D with the rarer cloth 3 piece with longitudinal stainless retainers. Not sure who has Jack’s car today. Not my photo but I did view Jack’s car when he lived in Ypsilanti, Mi.

This is the headliner in my D. I have not yet addressed how I will restore or replace my headliner but I did cover that base by obtaining the more common vinyl headliner from Gary. Here are pictures of what it looks like up close

This is the fragile center section. It look’s almost like speaker material.

The right side section with the wing for the C-pillar is shown below

You can see how beautiful it was when new.

Sam & All -

Here is a link to a Forwardlook.net page regarding a do-it-yourself 3-piece cardboard-type headliner that was used in the 1958 Plymouth Fury hardtops:

Viewing a thread - 57/58 Plymouth cardboard headliner - do it yourself!

Hi,

I need to replace the headliner on a 300D coupe. Is this a one-year only headliner and does anyone reproduce it?

Thanks,
