Does anyone have or can guide me to either photos of diagrams of the ceiling wood for my '37 120C Touring Sedan? I've been trying to figure out how to install the headliner and I think when I recreated the ceiling wood, I might have left something out. The headliner bows do not seem to want to fit with the wood as I have reinstalled it and in the old wood which I used as a pattern I cannot see any place where the ends of the headliner bows as supposed to fit.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

No idea how much difference there might be between the 120B and C but here is an overall top view with not much detail from the 36 120B fact book. Nothing is shown of the bottom or side construction so doubt it will be of any use.

Many years ago someone -- I think it might have been Owen_Dyneto -- posted another page from a data book showing a bit more detail on roof construction. I don't remember the discussion details or if the year or model of the car was identified.

There is a chance someone will have a car apart and can take detail photos but otherwise, unless a blueprint is available at the print archives Bruce Blevins or the proving ground foundation maintains I doubt there will be anything more detailed in Packard publications.

Thanks. That definitely is a step in the right direction.
