How much do you want to get for the trunk hinges?

I posted a photo of a taillight on the "what is it" forum, and I'm told it is probably a mid-30's Dodge. Can anyone on the Dodge forum help me identify Part Number 655863-LH. thanks.

John, Thanks for the help. Probably a Dodge, since most Plymouths I've seen have much smaller taillights. I'll keep checking. Jerry

Thanks, I removed a bolt, and there they were: 655863

Thanks. No number on the base, although the lens says "Stadium" at the top, and has 913 on the bottom.

Anyone know what this taillight could be? It's a combination taillight/brake/license light, similar to some 1935 - 1938 Dodge, DeSoto, or Chryslers, but much larger, 7-3/4" long by 4-1/4" at widest part. Mounts on the driver's side, and is stamped RILITE DULITE. thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I also posted this on the Airflow forum, and they said the same thing.

Thank you. I am always impressed with the vast amount of detailed first-hand knowledge that you experienced folks are only too glad to share with us "youngsters". This specific information on various Chrysler fender skirts is not only useful to me today, but I will also file it away for future reference. Jerry Lehman

Thanks for the info. I really appredciate it.

I posted this same question on the Chrysler forum, before I realized there was a separate Airflow forum. I think the Airflow had a unique winged emblem on its fender skirts, but what I need to know is, are the Plymouth skirts the same size?

I think the winged emblems on the Airflows were unique from other Chrysler products, but would the fender skirts from a 1937 Plymouth fit on a 1936 Airflow?

Dude, I have hot-rodded cars for years, and I agree with SilverGhost -- get this fine automobile to someone who can appreciate and restore it. Otherwise you will be pulling out your hair trying to find custom parts, and when you're all done, your fellow hot rodders will turn up their noses because it's not a Ford or Chevy.

I recently came across a local ad for a 1910 Hupmobile Model 20 Runabout, price is $8,700, and I am simply passing it on for anyone interested. It's located in Bangor, east central Pennsylvania, and the ad says it has been stored 55 years. The ad can be viewed at http//thepapershop.com and I think you can subscribe for one issue, so you can then read the phone number, which is blanked out otherwise. Good luck.

There's a company that now reproduces the ENTIRE body and frame for a '57 Chevy, EXCEPT the cowl. Apparently, the cowl is where the VIN plate is located, and once you have that part, with the VIN plate attached, you can reconstruct an entire (reproduction) '57 Chevy around it. Incidentally, I have also seen '57 chevy cowls for sale at Carlisle, with the VIN plate attached (no other parts).

David, I posted the original inquiry, and have not been able to find anything on the internet, either. I'm delivering a car to Fla. next month, and plan on stopping in Lenoir to get any info I can. I'll contact you when I find out, but if you find a website, please let me know. thanks. Jerry

I'm new to the forum, and just figuring out how messaging works, but if you didn't recieve my "private message", here it is: Ply-Do, Rt. 1, Box 277-B, Delbarton, W.V. 25670 (304) 475-3245 They might be able to help.

I'm completely new to the forum, so if this question has been addressed previously, please direct me to the answer: About a year or two ago, I read about a retirement/second home community somewhere in North or South Carolina, that was geared (pun intended) toward auto enthusiasts. I even remember something about a 10-bay garage in the community for use by residents. Has anyone ever heard of this, and do you know the name of the place? thanks.
