    Hello H.A.M.B.
    Would a 1946 Ford business coupe headliner fit a 1946 Ford regular coupe?
    If not I have a black '46 business coupe headliner for sale!
    Thanks, Mike istrum4u@cox.net
     
  2. I don't think they interchange. Didn't the Business Coupe have the shorter roofline?

    There were “long coupes” and “short coupes”.
    I believe the difference is in the doors and of course the roof line.
    I would think the business coupe would be a short coupe. I’m not sure.
    You’ll need to research this.

    Yes, I did some research and it is a bit shorter. Actually it's the business coupe doors that are shorter.

    Yes, after researching this I found they are not the same. I bought it on eBay and I specified a sedan coupe..my bad!

    If you have the bows for the headliner you can probably see where new “sleeves” or listings need to be. I bet the front section is what it needs to be so
    You’d only need to move 2-3 bows.
