Re: [Chrysler300] 58 300-D Headliner

[John <spiers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mopar Mel's response to me about the headliners & retaining strips he reproduces for the 57-59 Dodges & Plymouth two-door hardtops - 
   
  My headliners are cardboard I think for dodge and ply only?  my retainer strips are for the same
   
  Sooooo .   .   . if anyone out there in 300 Land with other Forwardlook cars can confirm the interchange of the retaining strips that are used on the 1957, 1958 and 1959 Dodges & Plymouth 2-door hardtops with the ones used on the 1958 Chrysler 300-Ds, we have a source - but Mel is not willing to say that they'll fit Chryslers - and the strips he sells separately for about $200.  The cardboard headliners alone are about $750 additional.

  Something I just came across that may be applicable to our 300-D 
  coupes. 
   
  Mopar Mel www.moparmel.com is reproducing the headliners - three-piece
  cardboard (no cloth covering) and the pair of chrome strips for '57 through 
  '59 Plymouths and Dodge two-door hardtops - $950/set - the pic below (from
  a '59 Sport Fury) is not the reproduced item, but an original I'm including
  for reference. Here's a link to the discussion on the Forwardlook listserver -

  I sent Mel an e-mail today asking how close they are to the Chrysler parts.

Bill-
By chance, did you get any direct replies to your inquiry? I'd be looking for a set myself.
Thanks,
