headliners?
 

I have a 1939 standard sedan. My upholsterer said to get an Acme headliner. I see that Mac's has them but I can't determine which one I need by the website. So do I need to call them or is there a way to make sure I get the right one? Thanks in advance, Rod

Re: headliners?
 

Their website only shows suspended headliners for older VW's and
doesn't inspire me to order an old Ford car headliner but, I could be wrong.
Call them.
Plus, I always wonder about a company with the name ACME.
I would want to talk to customers. Any reviews?

ACME? Wasn't that the company that sent their stuff to Wiley Coyote so he could decimate the Road-Runner"?

Re: headliners?
 

Funny as heck - thanks. Kinda what I was wondering. Never seemed to work out too well for ol' Wiley.

Re: headliners?
 

I think the Road Runner was CEO of the Acme Corporation. :)

For example....

Re: headliners?
 

Your upholsterer should have, or be able to get, suitable material for your car and install it himself. A lot less problems with correct fit etc. If he's not happy about doing it find another who will.

I was told that Acme is the place that did the sun visors and provided materials for LeBarron Bonney. I contacted them after LB went under and will send them my '34 visors. They have a large product line and Bob Westmoreland at Acme was extremely helpfull.

95476: That's good news. Maybe they will procure the LB patterns and fill the void.

Hi guys, and thanks for the replies, especially the levity, really funny. I should have known when my upholsterer said, "Acme, just remember the road runner", that should have been my first clue. Thanks again, Rod

Looks like Rock Auto carries Acme brand.

Re: headliners?
 

Acme has been around for many, many, years. If the product wasn't good you would have heard about it by now. I got a headliner from them years ago and it fit fine.

Re: headliners?
 

we bought our headliner from J.C.Whitney and it fit like a glove in our '41 fordor. Don't know if they still sell them.

Re: headliners?
 

If you check I believe Whitney gets their headliners from Acme. They are a major supplier.

Re: headliners?
 

Sounds like Acme might be the way to go.
I would however stay away from Acne, as the material is likely to get imperfections on it.

Re: headliners?
 

Acme supplies many of the vendors and they mark the prices up.
I did not find out about it until L/B went under.
From what I understand they didn't fo much "in house" in the last year or so at L/B.

Re: headliners?
 

As an upholsterer I understand acme only will sell through distributers not to the public so contact an upholstery distributor like Keysto Bros . I have used Acme Headliners for 50 yrs top notch - They have patterns for anything

I used Cartouche from Carpenter. Had very good success.
