Thanks for the identification. I have no idea how this came into my father's parts bin - he was a Chrysler mechanic from the time he left the Army in 1945 until he retired in '86. Other than a few Divco trucks owned by a friend of his, I don't recall ever seeing him work on anything but Chrysler products. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">That's an accessory gazelle hood ornament for Chevrolets from the very early-1950s. They had a gold anodized version of it that I believe was sold officially under the trade name Golden Gazelle. I have a friend with one on his 1951 Chevrolet, and he knows enough about the history of the car to feel certain that it came with it. JON </div></div>

Continuing to clean out the basement of my father's house. Before his death, he was a Chrysler mechanic for over 40 years and accumulated a lot of parts, new, used, rebuilt, you name it. I came across what looks like a Dodge Ram hood ornament, with a part number of 3695865. I didn't think Dodge used a ram hood ornament during the time period this part appears to come from. Any information on what this might be? Pictures at: http://tinyurl.com/by26a or http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/lallin/album?.dir=/4740&.src=ph&.tok=phR.axDBkhY8yFwV Thanks

I have about a dozen reconditioned (rebuilt) starter drives that were purchased in the 80s. My father used several of these to rebuild MOPAR starters and found they worked just fine. He must have gotten a bargain and bought far more than he could use before he passed away, hence the ones that remain. I will gladly give any or all of them to anyone who will pay the postage. If interested, send me your address and I'll calculate the postage. Please inquire by email to lallin<at>aol<dot>com.

I have a NOS A/C, heat, defrost, fan ATC control module but don't know what models and years it will fit; based upon part number, i'd guess late '70s Lebaron, Diplomat, etc. Anyone know for sure what it will fit? My father was a retired, 40 year, Chrysler mechanic. When passed away, it became my job to identify and sell off his stock-pile of NOS and good, used parts. I'm down to just a few that I can't readily identify. Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

Part number 2417218. Two, near perfect. One has a bit of shelf wear to the black paint, between the o and second d. It would be very difficult to find better.
