mobileparts Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Depends on what you need --- mechanical parts --- Master Cylinder, All SIX (6) Wheel Cylinders, Brake Hoses, Brake Shoes, etc., etc. --- that would be me --- Always best to simply call me--- 516 - 485 - 1935.... I also have a good bit more for that vehicle, but strictly NEW and N.O.S. parts.... For cosmetic parts --- the used world --- fenders, grilles, moldings, lenses, etc. --- there are NO " good " sources --- stating what you need or want in here, may produce a phone call or two.....

Like “mobileparts” noted, it really depends on what kinds of parts you need/want. Body (panels, trim, etc) ? Electrical (motors, control switches, wiring, etc) ? Mechanical (brakes, engine, transmission, suspension/steering, etc) ? Interior ? Most of this stuff is quite difficult to find, especially if good quality and OEM correctness is a concern. Most of the “New” reproduction stuff is junk and again, depending on the type of items, much of the 75+ years old “New Old Stock” parts can also be In the past 35-40 years, I’ve restored several this era Chrysler Corp. cars, worked on many more and currently restoring a 1956 Imperial, so I know that finding good/quality parts is getting very difficult and often it can be easier to rebuild/restore the old parts.
