How often do you see NOS sheetmetal from 1959?

Let alone a fin from a `59 Fury!! I was cruising Craigslist the other day and couldn't resist this. I have found some very Kool stuff on CL over the last few years (both car related and not) and this ranks right up there with the most interesting I think. The oil pressure gauge is also NOS from `51 and `52 Chrysler New Yorker. I'm thinking the fin will make some nice garage wall art for my shop.

Seen some gauges and filters, but no metal. Too bad you couldn't get a matched set.

That fin belongs on a car not a wall !

 

[detmatt1]

Taking this to Carlisle.

 

[Meep-Meep]

Very cool. Now you will have to get the rest of the car.

 

[detmatt1]

Oh No!! That would be sweet though!

I have been lucky a few times finding NOS parts....I got my father in law a NOS rad support and a Tail gate for his 1968 Dodge D-100.......I got 2 NOS sill plates, 2 head light bezels and a Grill for my 74 Satellite still in the boxes But I've never seen NOS parts from the 50's...Cool stuff

 

[detmatt1]

Thanks brother! I was pretty stoked when I found it. Came with a mint NOS grille from a `51-`52 Buick which is also a killer piece!

Geezus.........the guy finds the wildest stuff! What's next weeks find? Helm wheel from the Titanic from a local rummage sale?


Soooooooo......Dr. Jones..

I'll keep my eyes open for a nice hat like that for ya,bud. You'll be rockin' Carlisle:headbang:.

Speaking of Carlisle...you know;you could go there and find the rest of the car and bring that home and then you'd have a spare fin and,and... Better sell it quick,so that there's no chance of temptation...


:angel8:

Now,Matt;you really shouldn't...



:devil1:

Oh yes you should,hehe...



Damn,wish I was able to go :fit: Next year.
