I'm trying to figure out what color & style of headliner would be for my 56 black oval w/ red interior. Seems like i either am really bad at searching stuff, or there is just no good threads concerning this idk? Any help, or a link to info. would be great

The first place people typically check is the Wolfsburg West Color charts. They don't have examples of any of the colors, unfortunately, but it's a starting place at least. Looks like for a black 56 the interior changed mid year.

Where is a good place to get a headliner? So a late 56 had a light green headliner, but WW only has beige & light grey. Seems kinda odd for a color combo in my opinion.

fwiw,

Here is a card referencing the color combos for a polar silver car and it lists the green headliner. I believe it was pretty common.

I found this on a different thread. Does anybody have any photos of a 1957 polar silver beetle with grey cloth interior with GREEN vinyl (see arm rest) like this card says? I would think the vinyl arm rest would match the vinyl on the door panels.

I believe one of the samba members virtanen or beetlekey can supply it.
