RE: Headliner Install - Original Auto Interiors

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found a place called Original Auto Interiors (www.originalauto.com)
located near Detroit.  They have alot of OE materials or can match up close
to what you have if you send a sample.

I've exchanged e-mails with them, and they not only make new headliners,
seat covers, etc. but they also have some OE seat covers that they say were
bought in bales from the original manufacturers of the covers.  I have not
ordered from them yet, and don't expect the NOS covers to match the ones in
the car (due to age/fading) but the pricing is very attractive - they have
the driver's side back in cloth/vinyl for $85, and they have the rear seat
bottom as well. It depends on the material and color, as to what they have
in stock.  Even their new cover pricing is better than Legendary or Year
One.

Last email I got from them (2 weeks ago) their seamstress was off for a few
weeks for surgery.

Has anyone bought from Original Auto Interiors?

Thanks,
Steve Charette

Where's the best place to get a headliner for a 63 Polara 500?

Thanks.
