I should be able to get you a measurement in the next few days. I'm getting ready to install headliner in my 65 as well.

Hey Bob do your bows have colors on the ends? If so there’s a certain order for installation.

I finally measured my bows. I'm assuming these are original and in correct order but don't know positively as there currently is no headliner in car. I took bows out of car and layed on floor for measurements. I would have taken pics but my phone says no memory available for photos, even after I deleted 50 or so work pictures. Darn iPhone 5s. If someone has something else different please let me know as I plan on installing headliner next weekend, fingers crossed.

Starting at the forward most bow....

Black. 50 1/2"
Black. 50 1/2"
Blue. 50 1/2"
Red. 52 3/8"
