Curti Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I agree, aftermarket. This is a good post in comparison to the other one. If I recall there is a rule about one item per post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzer3 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I had one on our 50 New Yorker until I bumped a wing while washing the car. When I first put it on the car it was very disconcerting when driving as it catches your eye and you think something is crossing your path, just when I was getting used to seeing it i broke it. One of these days I am going to splint the wing so the swan can once more fly in the wind.Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Gotta love it that the seller says "buy this one, not some cheap aftermarket copy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzer3 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It has to be real there is a photo of it there in his "bible". I bet a lot of you guys grew up with a J. C. Whitney catalog beside the bed. I learned a heck of a lot studying a JCWhitney catalog for hours, I always said I read it like a theologian would read the Bible.jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Loved the old JC Whitney catalogs. The owner of JC was Roy Warshawsky who was a noted collector of classic Lincolns, and other makes I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
