'54 Headliner Bows

[Bob54]

Hoping to find headliner bows for my '54 Coupe. Mine weren't returned to me by the shop which originally worked on my car. Will I have difficulty in finding replacements?
I have placed an ad on the Stude Swap site.
Thanks for any input.

I believe any coupe bows from '53 and up would be the same. If you are a member of the Studebaker Drivers Club you can also place a free want-ad in Turning Wheels magazine.

When I purchased my 54K the headliner was in as bad a shape as the rest of the car. It had all the hardtop bows and three extra. I was led to believe they may be from a coupe. They appear to be stamped C-1,2,3. I don't know if they will fit or if you need more but if you are interested I'll take a couple of shots.

Bob,
Thanks for your posting.
I never saw the original bows, so I wouldn't be able to identify those that you have. Maybe someone else on the forum might be able to advise? How many bows are there? How can the proper ones be identified?

Hopefully, one of more knowledgeable members will chime in.

I think the 55 coupe I have has a set. I will check tomorrow. Maybe I could tube'm and
send if you don't find some close.

I have a '53 Starliner among my collection of parts cars, & can supply the bows you need.

Are the K model bows the same as the C model bows?
