What's that I hear?
Cricket's!
With no responses to date to Peter's question regarding the headliner installation problem in Noel's '41 160 Coupe thought I'd provide a little background to this stumbling block in completing the Coupe's restoration.
Noel has been restoring the Coupe now for a good number of years and over timesome many parts were lost along the way.(Peter is sure that somewhere there's big drum full of parts from this car just waiting to be discovered!)
Anyway, on my Hershey trip in 2018 Noel tasked me with finding many of the parts he then required. Amongst those I failed to find were the parts required for re-installation of the headliner. There was nothing at Hershey itself. Although I found a couple of '41 Coupes, their current owners hadn't restored the cars and were unable to provide any help.
But, on the Sunday after Hershey, at Dave Lockards Packard Truck Show a '41 110 Coupe pulled in. Note, all 110, 120 & 160 Coupe bodies are the same. The amazing feature of this Coupe was that it didn't have any interior! Just a more modern bucket seat so it was driveable. Couldn't believe it! Plus the owner was kind enough to let me take pictures of the headliner area, one of which is reproduced below(shows a similar area to that in Peter's picture).
Can anyone please assist Peter to enable the headliner installation to be completed? Even if it's not a '41 Packard other Packards, of that era or maybe post WW2, might have similar headliner mounting features?
Highlight of the Packard Truck Show, besides the '41 110 Coupe, was Ross taking a drive in one of Dave's Packard Trucks.
