It's finally time to do the headliner on the '57 Dodge wagon I'm restoring. It's a board headliner and of course no one reproduces it. What are my options here? I was told that REM makes perforated cardboard, is this correct? What have you other wagon owners done?

i didnt like my goliners headliner.

I converted my 57 Dodge 2dr ht to a vinyl headliner.

the better one is .. newstalgiaparts on ebay but not sure they make a wagon version

Neither one makes a wagon headliner, i think if you get a coupe version and have it modified to fit the wagon

contact them, get the headliner bows also.

When l first got my '57 Dodge wagon, it had a perforated vinyl headliner in it. But still used the stock bows. I don't know who did it but it looked nice... til it got ripped :-(
When l got the new interior in the 2dr, the upholstery shop used a perforated vinyl...

If the boards are still intact, you might consider using them as a pattern for new board or gluing perforated vinyl to them and reinstalling.

I am going to glue fabric to the old thin plastic brittle headliner in my ’56 wagon.

My boards are totally shot and badly warped. I just saw this on the newstalgia parts website https://newstalgiaparts.com/p/42831/1957-dodge-suburban-headliner-co...

Anybody tried it? Would sure love to know where that vinyl one came from that used the original bows.

How did you manage to get the plastic liner out in one piece? My 55 wagon liner has a few holes in it and I would like to take it out and patch it.

Also do you have any suggestions for the rubber seals on the rear side windows?

And here I thought the '60-64 headliners were a problem.

Sorry, I’m a little late to this thread. I just sent in my “pretty nice” original headliner boards from my 57 Dodge wagon to REM. They will use them as a template to make reproductions. They should be receiving the package today, turnaround might be 6-8 weeks. I’ll post photos when they’re done.
