Here's a post about some trim clips I made. If you don't find somethign you can buy, maybe you can make something like I did?

Here's a bad pic of mine many years ago. I did not know the emblem was to be illuminated, and discovered a wire hanging loose, and that it went to the emblem. I disconnected it afterward as I thought it looked a little goofy.

This one's trying to make a break for it

^^^^ agreed

Thanks! Like I said; old trick but still useful..:)

It looks like a decent car, but this spot in teh paint jumped out at me. Then I noticed most of the body pics are in shadows and/or far from teh car. It should have eyeballs on it to make sure the paint isn't hiding a lot of flaws. It looks either like original paint, or a poor-quality re-spray...

Where were you a couple years ago? I literally had to purchase 4 different sets of wheels yes 4 to get all the trim rings and center caps and the wheels themselves in good condition. Then I put them all together to get one complete set in perfect condition on my car. Currently I still have four...

In 56 years I would imagine there would be some environmental changes. I wonder what that would cost to keep in a perfect environment chamber for that long.

its nice, but IF correct mileage, it saw(and learned from experience) IF somewhere UNdriven for a long time, that itself could be deterimental The underhood scale is problematicas well , plus "dry-rot/dis-use" maladies (unknow, but fixed?) it likely had/has from sitting idle 50+ years perhaps...

That leaded-gas thing isn't a hard/fast rule. It depends on how the car is driven, and it doesn't happen immediately. High speed/rpm, towing, and racing cause more damage. I daily-drove a 68 318 for about 7 years, mostly highway use at 75mph (I read this qualifies as 'hard usage' regarding...

I wonder if a little heat (but not too much) would make them pliable enough to snap into the holes better.

Never mind about the Door Sticker. I contacted the auction house (Andy is a GREAT guy) and he's getting a pic from the elderly owner's son ASAP. Andy drove this car and he said it is so comfortable and just floats down the road, no nonsense at all.

Some sand blasting, a trip through the parts washer and fresh paint and it looks great. I will be getting the shavings cleaned out and getting it ready to make ice cold air. The connecting rods and crank were damaged but I think the crank will clean up, and new pistons will get it running...

I am trying to do more work on the 73 Plymouth Fury as it is sitting waiting on its carburetor to come back. The air conditioning and heater need work so I am getting it going. The compressor would only turn 3/4 of the way, then it would stop and could be rotated backwards to the same spot...

@Big_John ... I a 65 Imperial with a 413 with the same problem I tried jumping it from the battery to the coil and noting happened... Where do I go from there

If they had time to put those wheels/tires on it they had time to fix the exhaust leak. Must've been stored with a lot of moisture changes, the underhood shows a lot of tarnishing. Esp rearward of the fendertag - I've never seen surface rust like that in that location before.

Leaf Spring & Suspension Authority Since 1965 | General Spring I got these for our '65 Newport wagon last year. New rear shackles from Speedway Motors. Best of luck.

The factory power antenna doesn't retract all the way down, it stays up about 8-12 inches. It's also thicker than this one and has a stainless bead at the top, where as this one is black.
