All 3 of the 64 Dodge wagons I have had used the same setup. Kind of a fiberboard. No idea where you'd find replacements though.

Subject: Headliner with exposed bows
I'd asked advice on this last summer, but since we have a lot of new
members and I'm getting ready to dive in, I thought I'd ask again.
I need to replace my original headliner for my 63 Polara 500. The
stainless bows are exposed with the headliner sandwiched between them
and the roof. I like the look and want to keep it. The headliner
itself is less like perforated cloth and more like some kind of
'foamish' squishy material with a hard backing board underneath. It's
completely deteriorating into small flaky pieces that fly all over the
place. Below are a couple of pictures.

https://picasaweb.google.com/115013310552314897903/63Polara500#5722373151695931842Does anyone know a source for this 'foamy' headliner material?
Does anyone know what it's called?
When I was in Carlisle in July, the experts at Legendary had no clue
(I brought samples to their tent). Walking the field, I looked into
every 62 to 65 car that was there and didn't find ANY with the exposed
bows; everything had the bows hidden and a more typical perforated
vinyl material.
I'd really love to find the original material, but if I have to I
guess I'll settle for something close.
As always, thanks.
