fun9c1 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm on the home stretch on building a Lindberg '53 Victoria. This will be a surprise gift to my dad. A '53 Victoria was his first car and I'm doing this as close to his as I can with what limited info I can get without him getting suspicious. I do know it was in good shape (this would have been ~1960) and it was Sheridan Blue over Sungate Ivory.So the question is- does anybody know what color the headliner would have been in that? Would it have had chrome strips at the seams or no?Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike 51 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 The 53 Ford Victoria brochure shows a 3 tone interior in light and dark blue (with a white stripe on door panels) the headliner is shown in the dark blue, The pics don't show if it had chrome bows or not but I don't think it did....

In addition, the AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America) has an EXCELLENT set of forums as well--you do need to register there with a username and password, but it's free of charge. I've gotten a fair amount of great information from the AACA forums.Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry57 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Most of them I've seen had a white headliner.http://www.ebay.com/itm/1953-Ford-Other-/252167051794?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3ab653da12%3Ag%3ATAgAAOSwMTZWQ~W7&item=252167051794&nma=true&si=3AQRCAanRAwwGoNDb2o638h3hEI%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun9c1 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Still working on this! Just started "modeling season" again. Not a whole lot left. Can somebody explain why I seem to not have the #305 storage bottle? I have two of these kits and cannot find this part in either one. Am I missing something or am I missing something? Thanks, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
