Welcome aboard Steve! Yes, a classy looky 59SF, indeed.
A valance is hard to come by - they are like hen’s teeth. Do you mean to say you have one, it’s just ripped up? Here’s the miracle that Dick Koch worked with mine. I seem to recall that John Fowlie had one that was flat as a pancake, and he somehow brought it back. Perhaps all is not lost…
At any rate, whatever advice you need, or parts - you’ll find it here. Thanks for joining!
