Dan - Unbelievable but I found the headliner clips I need locally. Several years ago I found a local car Guy that had a 59 four door and a 58 Belvedere two door hardtop. I bought the 59 for parts for $200.00. The 58 was a rust bucket then but previously the drive train from the 59 was put in the 58. The interior of the 58 had been radically customized (pleates everwhere, even the headliner). He had been divorced and the ex wife was in possesion of the cars and she wanted $6,000.00 for the 58. The only thing any good was the drive train, power steering, and rear axle. She finally sold the 58 to the owner of a local body shop about three years ago. He is restoring the 58, 92 SF of sheet metal and installing everything Chevy. Front clip, engine, axle, etc, etc. The only thing good about that is I got everything he took out. I mean every thing. Including the clips that were still there, 7 of them.

Dick, I am happy for you that you found them locally, Especially when I could not come up with them as I thought I could. I think Ron is still looking for his set. So keep your eye out for more everyone.
If anyone needs the type that uses the bows on a 4 door, I have 6 of them that I picked up at a salvage yard. These are the type that are round that the headliner bows fit in to.
Free to good 59 owners home…
