Guest scott mich bca # 6619 Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I have a 1959 Olds SS88 with the "Starliner" headliner. It appearsto be some type of foam sprayed on cardboard panels.It is badly deteriorating. Does anybody have any suggestions forsome type of process or product that I can use to replace this headliner,that would be as close to original as possible?The sunvisors are made from this as well.I've called many trim, upholstery and fabric suppliers, including SMC & Jenkins with no success.Thanks in advanceScott MichOCA # 3947, BCA # 6619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Scott, I don't think anyone is reproducing the Starfoam headliner material and I have often wondered why. The 62 Starfire guys go crazy because of that too. It's even awkward to try installing a vinyl or cloth headliner because there's no bows to attach it to in a Starfoam car- you'd have to get them from a flat-topped Chevy or Pontiac and use a headliner kit for those I guess. In lieu of the Starfoam I think the most appropriate h/l fabric might be the "Star" pattern vinyl that GM used on many cars in the early 60s.
