Anybody know where I can buy a complete stock interior kit for a 1948 stylemaster? I have tried google searching and came up with nothing, looks like Hampton coach used to make them but the website does not work and they don’t answer the phone? Any other options? Thanks.

Hampton Coach filed for bankruptcy last week. I am not aware of anyone else making kits.

If you are not in a rush I would wait a few months and see how the bankruptcy shakes out. One important asset that Hampton Coach has is the patterns for the interiors so hopefully they will end up with someone that will continue to make use of them.

You may want to give them a call anyway. They might still be operating, depends what type of bankruptcy they are going through. They might just be reorganizing, or have someone that's buying the company out of bankruptcy.

It is a voluntary chapter 7 filing.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a total liquidation. The administrator distributes the company assets among the creditors. If anyone has not received what they paid LeBaron Bonney or Hampton Coach to receive they should get their claim to the administrator before the April 25, 2019 creditor meeting.

"According to Josh Burnett of Kitaeff and Associates, the law firm representing the company, on Tuesday LeBaron Bonney filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, “which means that the company’s assets will be assigned to a trustee and the assets will be sold” to satisfy any outstanding debts."

When you read the filing it's hard to imagine that the assets and liabilities are not better defined. I can understand the asset values can vary but when you vary your liabilities by 100 percent that indicates to me why they are in trouble.
