Getting a head--liner that is.

Planning for a new headliner and welting for next spring.

What color headliner should I get. My interior is the standard blue doeskin and lighter blue metalaise (spelling?).

Current headliner appears to be colored and is medium dark; may have been blue but when I pulled out "protected" samples that were under the visor attachment place they look about the same.

It just feels to me that gven the year and the upholstery choices, the head\liner probably should be muted blue.

Pat,

Go back into the Packard Material Cards. 375 swatches of fabric scans Roscoe Stepford donated to the site of 50-56 interiors. Should show you your correct combination or what was available with what.

The samples donated by Roscoe show part numbers for bulk stock trim material. Unfortunately the sample for trim set 62 headlining fabric (Group 31.4742, Part #6481016) is missing.

The parts book listing does have one clue however as the headlining fabric for trim set 62 is listed as light blue.

Pat, my '55 Patrician has the code 60 interior which is original to the car. The headliner is(according to the Packard Material Cards, Imitation Leather Headlining - Light Blue # 462672. The applicable models are listed as 5522, 5547, 5562, 5582 and 5587. The seats are done in Genuine Leather - Light Blue Code # 463535 and Dark Blue Cloth Body # 463583 (the Paisley looking material).
Hope this helps.

Should have mentioned that I looked there but didn't find mine. Now I know why.

Interesting that a leather car came with what sounds like a very different headliner.....

I have my doubts that a leather headliner would be very practical. For one thing, it would be pretty heavy and I'm not sure how well it'd keep it's shape.

After making allowances for 58 years, the color of mine is a spot on match for the leather. Personally, my Packard is the first car I've seen with the leather being a far lighter color than the fabric.

You're not a moron. The material cards are not a complete set for all the 1950's upholstery fabrics and generally don't apply for anything earlier than 1952.

There are no samples there for 1951.
