keiser31 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Google "1928 Oakland radiator cap" and see a bunch. Some are probably for sale or were for sale or in personal or museum collections. Edited December 5, 2016 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It's a shame the feet are missing. May be only good for a shelf display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it can be restored by some company that specializes in that, It does look good in my display case, I wonder where the rest of the car is, probrably got crushed during WWII....

TheMoneyPit Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I'm sure that it could be restored, but the price may be more than it's worth. I looked into having a Pierce Arrow ornament fixed about 20 years ago and it still shocks me when I think about it. Still looking good on my shelf even if the arrow is ugly.

Marty Roth Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hi Steve, long time no talk - I agree with late 1920s Oakland (mine was a '12), and we have a very active Oakland Owners Club International (OOCI) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
