They are pretty used up, especially near the bottoms.

It doesn't have to be a 300L. A 300 will have the same panels.

Right, Maybe even a Newport for all I know. So is anybody making them?

Newport and New Yorker are different. They would fit but not look right. SMS might make one, but their lead time is measured in years.

Unfortunately the ones from my parts car are in pretty rough shape, the trim is good, but the cardboard looks worse than his current ones.

FWIW, 65 Chrysler (and I think 66 also) has this bump that wraps into the dashboard corner. No other C-bodies have this.

If 100% originality is not a concern:
The bottoms could be covered with a 2nd hardboard layer, either wrapped in vinyl or vinyl-edged carpeting.
The PW switches could have some reinforcement bezels made from ABS, and fastened to the original doorpanel. Although - those screws in there now would require a pretty large bezel to hide them.

If one can get (or make) some new hardboards, reupholstering them is within reach if you have some time and mildly-above-average patience.
Here's a mini-story on mine. I worked on them on the weekends whilst I watched DVDs.

How's the vinyl around them? Could new boards be installed and the vinyl re-wrapped?

Just an observation, the Newport ones look different, but should be an easy swap. The New Yorker ones should work, but you would also need to switch to the New Yorker door handles including the pivot that fastens to the door.

I suspect that '66 panels would fit as well, but again the door handle mechanism is completely different.

I think just fair, but I’ll get some pics.
