Lou, in a word: Unobtanium.
In this "Global"-age of confuser-programming, and out-sourcing, anything
"is" possible, reproduction-wize.
Some bright-boy (or girl) , who has the tek-nical abilities, and
(furrin,probably)-connections..... (SHOOT (ahem) , maybe all 'he' needs
is the tech-CONNECTIONS).....can arrange to get, and then, to ship-out ,
samples of lousy-condition headliner panels, but with legible
"Endless-Loop" designs on them, to a 'guy' , who could, then, arrange
to have Cheap-Labor reproduce the different-years'/
car-models' headliners !!!!! Sunvisors could also be made-up, but, there
would actually be some REAL 'labor' involved , in forming, and
stitching-up the visors.
That enterprising person would, then, have CORNERED the market, and
could charge whatever the world-wide market would bear (to PAYYYYYYY!)
The amazing thing is that, because the dimensions of the headliners &
visors would be 'fixed', & therefore readily reproducible, "all" the
"producer" would be concerned-about, after securing a source for
exact-hardboard-material, is replicating, via computer-program, and
then painting-on , the various headliner-patterns, which WOULD all
constitute "extra" work/profit, to the "importer".
You KNOW, that for anyone with "connections", that the 'hardest' part
would be collecting samples of headliners, and patterns, to ship
overseas, for reproduction.
