    I have a 1958 Buick Estate Wagon. I just thought I should share the notice that REM Automotive in PA 717-838-4242 has agreed to make new hardboard/perforated headliner boards for the wagon. Yeh! They will take my originals and make new ones and keep the template on file for others in the Buick and Olds wagon fold. Cheers. Michael.

    I finally got some time and have two of the new panels installed. With the help of a little steam they just popped in. Hopefully I'll get to the other ones this weekend. Cheers.

    Just a bit of curiosity.......

    Did these all come in white, regardless of the interior color, or were the headliners color-matched?

    I'm hoping to get the last two in this weekend if I get some time and will post some pictures.

    Also, for Mr. Kadillack: All of the headliners that I have seen (only pictures mind you) for the Buicks, were all white. I don't think they came in other colours but I may be wrong. Cheers. Michael.

    Hopefully I did this correctly. These are two shots of the headliner. Just have to figure out the light and I can move on. The REM headliner and Mr. Hooker's advice were wonderful. Cheers.

    That headliner looks great an an easy install. My 55 Chevy wagon is vinyl and difficult to get the wrinkles out of.

    Very nicely done. The pattern looks similar to the one in my Mercury.
