I was once told that my 31' Tudor has an original head liner. As shown in the images below there is a one larger stain which is not an issue to me (all part of the car)... I was wondering if anyone can concur that the headliner is original...

In my mind, if it is in fact original, I would think that the car was likely cared for (stored) otherwise the roof would have failed and surely the headline would not be in the shape is it (not perfect clearly but much off worse)

Not to highjack Mike's thread BUT does anyone know where I can get wind lace material like Mike's? Mine is almost identical except the part by the passenger front door is torn. Thanks (Sorry Mike).

Can't really tell in the picture, are there horizontal and vertical seams in the headliner?

Looks to me like the headliner was replaced when the windlace was replaced. If the windlace has foam rubber for a lining, it is probably from the 50's, and I think that pattern was later than model A era. Of course, I could be entirely wrong. It would not be the first time, or the last.
