Very Space Age, indeed. | Somebody needed a steering column | I looked at all the '57 and '58 Chrylser parts cars to check for goodies for my Saratoga. | If you own a Pontiac Gran Prix like this one, perhaps you should purchase these front fender letters. As I recall, they were often the victims of stray shopping carts and people who couldn't parallel park. | ||
It almost appears as if the spider webs are holding what is left of the dash together. | The circa 1970s accelerator pedal sticks out like sore thumb, especially in this well stripped interior. This '62 Chrysler 300 was a factory stick car with a floor shifter. | There isn't much left in this car's engine compartment. | These "dummy" spotlights appear to be pitted beyond economical repair. They represented quite a fad in their day. | ||
How do you make a '57 Chrysler look like a '60 Plymouth? Just park it next to a tree that is about to fall over. A real shame, as this car was very nice before experiencing the wrath of Mother Nature. | Though the radio speaker cone was toast, the Desoto's speaker grille and factory A/C dash vents were in excellent condition. I removed the assembly and took it to the barn for safe keeping.If you need this piece, give John a call. | John pulled some door glass from this '59 Desoto for one of my Plymouth wagons. | If you aren't worried about 100% originality, you can use the metal defroster vents from a '57 in your '59 to replace any broken, warped or brittle plastic vents. | ||
