WTB 57 Hood Letters and Other Things
I'm really just looking for the whiskers, the two diamond shaped ornamental pieces that attach on either side of the hood letters, but I'll take the whole set if anyone has it. I also need a 4 barrel carb, 4 barrel intake, throttle linkage for the 4 bbl., 2 armrests for a Roadmaster convertible, Caballero script, Century Checkmark script, roof strips for a Caballero, horns and AC brackets. Can anyone tell me how to distinguish between the high and low horns on a 57? I've looked long and hard for the L and H stamp, but cannot find it.

I can't help with the parts, but for the horn part numbers my book lists:
Group 2.810
1957 All 9000443 Horn, low note (R.)
1957 All 9000444 Horn, high note (L.)
1958 All 9000444 Horn, high note (R.)
1958 All 9000413 Horn, low note (L.)
Maybe you can tell by the bracket if they mount on the right or left side.

Paul, I'll call you in the morning. Thank you for the research Sean, strange that they switched the mounting of the high and low notes in 58.

Re: WTB 57 Hood Letters and Other Things
Hello. Do you still need the horns? I have them both and other stuff, too. Let me know what you still need.

Re: WTB 57 Hood Letters and Other Things
All of those issues are now resolved, but I'm always looking for parts. Give us a list and prices and we'll see what we can do.

I have a set of Doors with one good script and a broken and missing piece of the second. Good doors.
I have quite a bit of '57 stuff, but not including the arm rests or A/C compressor brackets.
