1947 Crosley Sedan that was a CAC National CC First Place winner in 1995 and has been in a museum the last 10 years. It still looks great inside and out and runs and drives very well. No radio but

Here is a link to a headliner bow and the next couple of photos after. I have never owned a Crosley with and intact headliner so can’t be of anymore help. These photos are in the Restoration Photo

I had just assumed the bows were aluminum, but have never seen one in real life. Thanks for the photos. Yes, I was told the head liner was a 3 piece affair. Could you measure yours & post a close

I only found 2 support bows in my wagon. I have no idea what a complete set looks like, or how the front is held together. It seems to be a 3 piece head liner with 2 support bows in the middle. Mine

Don. my '50 Hotshot has disc brakes, but the lines are the same. There should be a keeper inside the "C" frame. On the left side is a bracket for an oil filter. It is a bear to get a tool in there.

I believe there is a snap ring on inside of the frame.
