Looking to buy any of the following project vehicles; '56 Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth 2 door hardtops or convertibles.
Projects should be reasonably complete; of course, the better to start off with, the better!
Please contact;

I've been asked to help find a good, restorable '35 Plymouth Sedan for a friend of a friend...

Black seems appropriate (and typical, I guess!), but I thought I'd ask first!
Thanks for the links, too!

What's the correct color for the air cleaner for our '53 Super 88 Convertible? When we got the project, it was already sandblasted clean.
TIA,

Has anybody researched the interior colors for the '53 Olds to make modern equivalents? I am unsure of what the color of the dash was in the Super 88 Convertible we are restoring.
I find some green metallic on the steering column, but the dash is more of a silver/gray metallic, and the color under the trim of the dash is more greenish/yellow than the exposed areas of the dash. So... I'm all confused.
Got several pictures of the painted body in our paint booth. Pictures are kinda cramped, but Royal Marine is my newest favorite color! Hopefully, the link works!

Hi, where in Kansas?

Sure, I'd be interested in the whole column if you can do an inspection of the operation of the shifter mechanism for me. If you can take an image or two and send them to me I'd appreciate it a lot!
Emails can be sent to tbowers1@alltel.net
Thanks!

Looking for a source of parts for the shifting lever mechanism in the steering column for our '53 Olds project. We have just taken this project out of another shop, and have been informed of this being broken. Any spare parts out there?

Hey, Tim
Ever get any response on this one?
Installing quarter panels isn't too bad, but you need some specialized tools and skills to get it done in a nice manner.
Depending on tools and skills, the available panels like Year One has can be installed with a MIG, or TIG, butt welded, or lapped. I guess they can be glued in, but I don't have any experience with that.
So, get back to me on tools and skills, and I can maybe help walk you through it, if you still are looking for help.

Hi;
I'm hoping to find someone that can decode the body plate on the '53 Olds Convertible we are restoring. Can someone either point me in the right direction, or tell me the meaning of the codes?
vin: 538M22720
OK, common sense tells me that "53" is the year model, of course, and "8" is for a Model 88. M is... the assembly plant?, and then the rest of the numbers are sequential build numbers for that plant. Am I right?
the body tag has
STYLE 53-36670X
BODY NO. L 471
TRIM NO 39
PAINT NO 70
TOP BLK. ACC. K2-K3
I know the paint to be Royal Marine, and figure the car must have had a black convertible top. Details for the Style No and Trim code, I don't have info for, or the accessory codes. The car is equipped with power top, power windows, power seat, and autronic eye, all of which I'm told is a little uncommon for an "88"
Any help on the details, would be greatly appreciated.

1928 Sport Coupe upper belt molding
in Model A
Posted
We're restoring a '28 Sport Coupe, and need the upper belt molding that goes around the body at the base of the top fabric.
Can anybody help? They are listed in several vendor's catalogs, but nobody seems to have them.
Thanks,
