My car is a '56 Belvedere, painted with Egg Shell White roof, Briar Rose body, and Egg Shell White below the mid-height spear line. Inside, the seats are covered with black and silver Aztec fabric, with pleated pink vinyl bolsters and black vinyl skirts.

Two restorers have told me that the black headliner in the car is Not original.
Q - What color would the factory-installed headliner have been?
Q -Where can I get either the metal inside band or cardboard tacking strips for attaching the headliner to the body? and where can I get the tack-like fasteners to attach the inside band or tacking strips?


The windlace is light beige with black rectangles in rows that are 1/8" apart, and spaced 1/4" within each row.
Q - Is this the factory color, or should it be something else (like pink or black)?
Q - Where can I get the tack-like fasteners for attaching the cardboard portion of the windlace to the body?
