1953 Mopar Compass

[Guest Mudyoman]

Hi, I've been trying to find a value on a compass I have, but I can't seem to find any information, anywhere. So if anyone can assist me, I thank you.

What it is: MoPar Auto Compass that looks new, still in its' original box. The instruction for installation sheet has Part No. 1064863, and there is what looks like a receipt that only has the date Tuesday, Nov. 24, 1953 typed on it.

Thanks again for any help.

The early accessories have really gone up in value. I worked with a guy that collected them and some of those compasses are going for stupid money. I know he had one, I don't remember what kind, that he sold for a grand.

N.O.S. in the box 1937 Chevrolet "GM" marked compass....$4,500.00!! Saw it happen and still am mystified.

The low rider guys that own cars from the '40s and '50s are into NOS accessories. They refer to their cars as "Bombs". They don't hesitate to spend money on their cars.

Another option is to call one of the larger Mopar vendors and tell them you want to buy one. If you're looking for one they'll give you their price, but if you tell them that you're selling one they'll low-ball you.:mad::mad::mad:

You will find that a lot of the larger Mopar dealers are total jerks to deal with, where the Ford guys are great (Carpenter, Drake, Mac's, etc.).
