Where to buy a headliner and carpet

[hotrodbob]

Who do you recomend for carpet and a headliner. Did mine 20+ years ago, bought from a company in Long Beach Cal. named ACME.. Time to redo the interior, but can't find ACME.

I know about Kanter, but I want to see what I'm buying before I buy.

About 2 years ago a friend purchased carpet for his 49 Dodge from JCW he was satisfied with the purchase. You could check with them also most vendors will send you samples if you ask

Try these guys. I bought my custom made headliner from them and it was a perfect fit at a reasonable price, too. There are also a lot of nice photos so you can see what you are getting.

That's where I'll be getting mine... except from the company they deal with north of the border... the guy up in Canada is the one that did the Plymouth in their "gallery" and btw he also told me the colored piping was the customers idea... not his.... ( i believe its white seats with purple piping)

As far as interior, they are perfect for the mid-late 50's car's interiors, but don't really have much of a selection if you are trying to restore that 1940's to early-50's interior, which was more of that stripped cloth. They do have that, in my crushed velvet stuff, but that's more like a last resort. I was real happy with the headliner's quality and how well it fit.

But I'm not looking to go for "original".... I just want to have a nice interior...

so I'm not really worried....

They have it all there...even vinyl headliners, too.

My shop is set up to order from ACME in Long Beach. Great products. But, J.C.Whitney does have some real good products. They are just a "go between" for one of the big companies. I've ordered from both Acme and Whitney and have been happy with either. I can get you the Acme number if you are interested.
