I have a steering gear box and column from a 1940 Olds 60 series with Hydramatic . It has been rebuilt by Lares and I never used it . Do some research and it may be the same . Good luck .
1940 Olds series 60 steering box and column is not the same. The Pitman arm won't work either.

Definitely 6 cyl. (6 cam lobes). Several sources say Autolite IAP-4102C-1 fits 1949-1950 Chrysler & DeSoto 6 and is listed as a replacement for all Chrysler and Desoto 6 from 1946-1952. I can't find any Plymouth applications for that Autolite number.

I've fooled around with those old GM washer pumps and systems and it's my opinion that they're far more trouble than they're worth. They should be put in a car for visual display purposes only. The old Mopar foot pump types work much better. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks everyone for your opinions on the mouldings, I will check further into those applications and see if I can make a positive ID.

It will be this 1953 Chieftain Deluxe 8 that I drive frequently in nice weather. Starting January mileage 84053. Thanks and I'd like to see more people get in on this!

Just to clarify the 2020 Challenge is open to all makes and not just "Limited" to Buicks, correct?

Early 40's GM was my guess too but I can't confirm.

I've had some small bundles of these NOS flat scalloped stainless mouldings in my possession for a long time and have never been able to ID them. Each has a formed end and the other end is a straight cut-off. They are in two lengths, one is exactly 28" long and the other 23" long and both are 1 3/4" wide. There are no numbers, wrappings or markings of any kind, they're the same shape and apparently fit the same vehicle. Any ideas?

Hardtop trunk lid is not the same, but interchange says a 1957 Buick Special or Century convertible lid will also work on a 1957 Olds 88.

1953 Chrysler.

I would pass based on the limited information given. You state you are very new at this but seller probably isn't. There are few good $1000 cars out there but many, many bad ones. If the car was a good deal it would be gone by now as there are a lot of flippers out there.

The most obvious difference is the shape of the wheelwell cutout. Yours is a regular 88 sedan quarter, I've shown what an 88 series Holiday hardtop sedan (4-door hardtop) looks like. These arrived in mid-year.

That one took some digging, it was only shown in a MoPar Collision Parts list book.

Part no. 1860787 fits a 1959 DeSoto. It's called a Lower Rear Quarter Moulding which is somewhat misleading. I'm guessing it goes on the very rear top fin tip above the upper round taillight. There's another moulding that goes over the top of the fin and this is the one underneath.

As I recall all these old junkyards back in the day were always wet and muddy even in the middle of summer during a drought!
-
I walked around my "kinda local" old junkyard yesterday, the stuff in there looks just like your pictures! The trip was necessary as I was looking for a replacement grille thanks to a deer encounter, I was lucky and found everything I needed. Nice day for a winter walk too!

1966 Pontiacs have an ammeter in the dash, there is no idiot light, just sayin'.

I had the book "Pontiac The Complete History 1926-1976" autographed by the author Bonsall and it generated no interest at all.

Nick, that's a 1949.

Padgett might have a point. Ignore the hood ornament and what do we have? Looks more like a 1959 Ford especially with those dual spotlights and that flash of headlamp door trim 3-4 seconds in. Also the dashboard hump in front of the steering wheel is more pronounced on a 59 Ford than a 58 Merc. And the inside rearview mirror on a 1958 Merc convert mounts on the dash, a 59 Ford convert inside rearview is mounted above. Finally 58 Merc automatics are a pushbutton setup called "Keyboard Control" mounted on the dash to the left of the steering column while a shift knob (as a Ford would have) is clearly visible in front of Blake's right hand. I wish there was more of the car shown, I'm still not 100% sure what it is, might just be a studio prop and not even a whole car..........And to all a good night!

If that little round dot on the side of the handle says GM ACCESSORIES in it you have the real thing.

All 1958 GM cars do not share the same glass. All 1958 Buick Super 4-dr HT glass interchanges with 1958 Roadmasters & Limiteds, the front & rear side door glass & rear vent glass from a 1958 Cadillac 4-dr HT will also fit. The front vent glass is the same as a 1957 Buick Super & Roadmaster 4-dr HT as well as a 1957-1958 Cadillac Series 75 4-door sedan. This info is from a 32nd series Hollander Interchange manual.
