The perforated vinyl was a product from the seventies.
the correct head liner is a cotton based material..... Getting harder to find after Covid.

(As in its still out there but, still getting harder to find)

My wagon has a cotton headliner.  It light even be nos or original.  It's a very course weave bright color. Almost like when you see the weave on linen. 

I would GM cars has perforated headliners in the 50's. 
Most options now are just perf or solid and at about 220-300 bucks
