I'm working on a 1960 Studebaker am I can't seam to find white vinyl headliner (non perforated)

Try Acme Auto Headlining.

Everything's getting so expensive these days, doesn't anything ever stay at the same price? Well the price for reupholstery hasn't changed much in years!

Yes, to what Rich said.  Acme should have the pattern on that car and probably willing to send you a vinyl sample you want in white.

Try that, but were you thinking about sewing one yourself? 

That is a possibility if the old is sufficient for a pattern.  But the other idea is my thought.

This is a Studebaker what style?  Just curious.

I just finished a couple headliners, for 60's and early 70's cars and at the price - premade, 
we go that route.  The visors and sail panels are bought and matched as well.

Some time ago, made about all this for the car.  Labor is pretty expensive today, so that is in the equation.


Then, came the glue in type.

Then, came the inclusion of air bags.

Then, came to sun roofs and differences between car brands.

Then, so much became molded (visors).

Changes, never stops does it?
