Was so lucky to score this one . It's a full headliner complete with visor panels , printed dot sides and lots of shaped sections , also has a pack of little rubber tubes for the ends of the rods.

I'd like to see the little rubber ends please. |
Here you go .looking at them again I think these go right onto the rods, I first thought they went half onto the ends then folded over . |

Im not saying its correct but my experience from headliner removal has been that those rubber tubes are not fully installed and the leftover bent over which i assume is for friction keeping them in place and avoiding metal on metal noise as well. _________________ www.thebustransfer.com

Here is an NOS domed oil cooler brace. These were used only from December 1956 until April 1957 = 5 months.

I had an NOS piece of front to back heater tube. The little short piece way up front. Sort of a weird piece. Gave it to someone who had every piece but that one.

I've got one of those NOS here in the basement somewhere, yep! Random for sure...

Enough time has past that these might be rare.
All have formed corners. Windshields are both left but that doesn't matter, I've heard.
Popout glass to frame.
Popout frame to bus.
It feels like they are dipped in paraffin. |
