Ok, I put this on temporarily to show you and hopefully someone will take pity on me and sell me a passenger side bumper guard. I've been looking on and off for years.

Don't worry I won't leave it like that.

I've acquired quite a set of driver's side bumper guards! But for some reason the pass side is really difficult to locate.

I'll look in my stash tonight and see if I have an extra.

You could convert a left to a right without too much trouble. You would need to re-chrome it afterward though.

Ok, I agree it could be done. But I know for sure getting the curves and dimensions just right would be a bit of work. Definitely beyond my cutting and welding skills.

58 Chrysler used them as well.

Correct, but the '58 version (DeSoto & Chrysler in '58 are the same) is a little different from '57. They can be swapped between 57 and 58, but they require modification of the mounting surfaces & likely rechrome afterward.

I made a cast of a 1958 Dagmar, then put that cast over a 1957 Dagmar. I drew lines
on the 57, so you can see the difference between the two.
I am not going to modify the 57.
It is now for sale. Make me an offer. Send me a PM.
I am still looking for a passenger side Dagmar for the 1958 DeSoto.

Hmmm, I'll have to figure out what I have as I have a pair on a bumper but don't remember what one.

Now that I have a 57 passenger side... I came to learn I actually had a 58 driver's side Dagmar. If anyone would like to trade me for a 57 driver side please let me know. My 58 piece is pretty nice. Some light shelf wear and small area where the chrome is a little brassy looking. Not show, but a very nice driver for sure. PM me if you are interested in a swap and I'll send you pictures. Thanks!

Ok, Ok. I know one dagmar is bigger than the other. Is that so bad? I had girlfriend just the same. She didn't seem to care and neither did I. We got along just fine

She looks purty. I don't know any girl that is perfect.

So you are looking for a 57 Drivers.
And I am looking for a 58 Passengers. I think you will have better luck.

Still looking for a decent 57 driver's side Dagmar. I have a very nice 58 driver's side. Looking to trade or buy. Thanks!

Hi, Kurt:

I am looking for a set of '58 dagmars.  Would you be able to make me a cast of each too?  I have a set of Chrysler dagmars and it may come down to cutting those to fit - although I know you noted that was a lot easier said than done.

 

Thanks,

Mike

I am confused Mike. The '58 Chrysler and DeSoto dagmars are exactly the same. The only difference is from '57 DeSoto to '58's.

Mike,
I can make a set of casts/templates for each. Just remember that it is not really a cast, it's a piece of
paper with a bunch of tape on it. If you do cut the 57s down to the 58 size, it will cut into the inside
bracket. You might have to move the bracket for it to be sturdy. It's a lot of work, but some times you
just gotta do whatcha gotta do.

Remember, Dave has a drivers side for sale or trade.
