Does anyone know of a vendor that makes door panels for a '56 wagon? I don't want them finished, only the panels themselves. My panels are either missing or too distorted to use as a pattern. Thanks,

You should be able to get the material from a upholstery shop to make your own if the old one is good enough for a pattern.

Unfortunately my panels are either missing or in pretty bad shape.

Might be corrected, but I believe Lebaron Bonney in Philidelphia has premade panels for 56s. Used to be ABC Upholstery but was sold. Or you could try SMS Upholstery Fabrics in Canby Oregon. They may have the correct materials for your panels.

Dennis Carpenter lists them. The measurement listed is ~10" shorter than my Ranch Wagon. Maybe this listing is for a four door?

my door panels were warped also. After making a pattern off the door, I made new door panels out of ABS sheeting so it will not warp again. Comes in 24" x 48" Sheets.

Oops, my bad. The number listed above is for the Effie. No wonder the measurement was so far off. Smooooth

You can use Masonite for the door panels. It's easy to trim and works great. You can take a large sheet of cardboard and use it as a pattern on the door then transfer it to the Masonite. One pattern works for right and left doors.
