hello--I need to find someone whop has a set of plastic strips that hold up the headliner in a 1959 oldsmobile 98. they run crossways and snap onto metal strips that are in the roof of these cars. If there is no one who makes them, has someone made some of there own so that i can get an idea on how to make these. There where none in the car that I bought so I don't even know what they looked like. I have been trying to find pictures of them but have not been able to find anything on the net.
I appreciate any help on the restoration of this car
thanks jlkoldsman

 

I parted a 98 some years ago...it was pretty well gone but can poke around the garage and see if I have any.....I am working on a 59 98 conv...project is stale right now.

 

hi- did you ever find any of those old trim pieces that you thought you might have for that 59 olds 98? i just finally figured out how to check on my messages. just not that savvy on computers yet. must be the old age. let me know and if you did what price and how many. i have 1 and need three. ic ould just use pieces until i find a way to replace them alszo so even those will work. thanks

 

I since I know there is someone on the other end I will look tomorrow.

 

I looked in a couple of places today...no plastic strips....Possibly they broke while removing them....dont know its been so long ago...found some metal pieces that maybe I thought were them but did not find enough of em. The few pieces I found had screw holes for attaching. If I come across em I will let you know...sorry.
