Bowstyle headliner for classic and antique cars

We have developed a unique web-based system to supply the classic and antique car "bow style" (sewn in headliners); that are used in the older cars from the early 70's and earlier. We have devised a system whereby the customer can pick their headliner material, color, and supply the correct measurements for us to produce a perfect fit bow style replacement headliner for the 1930's model automobiles up to the early 1970's. If we can get the measurements from you, our experienced craftsmen can build you a headliner that will fit well. We only sell the bowstyle headliners in cloth. It's a 4 step process. You can view a 56 Belair headliner installation by clicking on this link.

1. You find the number of panels that is in your antique or classic car's headliner. Count the number of panels in your headliner (that should be between 5 and 9 panels).

2. Get the measurements from your headliner and put them into the form fields according to the panel number (panel one = measurement 1, etc.); there is a diagram of what a bow type headliner resembles below. To get the correct measurement; add 2 inches on the 1st panel at the front; 2 inches on the last last panels (for fastening) -- measure the others exact (if 9 3/4; then use 9 3/4) -- starting from front to back. The diagram below may help you in measuing.


3. Next, choose the color of headliner cloth that you want by viewing the samples at the bottom of the page. We use foambacked cloth for our sewn headliners for 2 reasons; they install easier and they look better and fuller.

4. And then purchase the headliner; this will send us an email with your color and measurements on it and we can get started on your headliner. The bowstyle headliner is sold by panels - so you just fill in the amount of panels you have on your headliner and the cart will configure a correct price and shipping. If you have 5 panels, fill in the 1st 5 fields, the program will do the rest. The panels are $11.75 each which means a 5 panel headliner would cost $58.75, 8 panel headliner would cost $94.00, and so on.

Note: the sunvisor option is for those who want to ship their visors to us for recovering; so the headliner and visors will match perfectly. If you should choose the visor option; we will wait to ship the headliner kit with your new visors after we have recovered them.
