re: '56 Repro Lenses-STAY AWAY

["Dave Candage" <dcandage@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I remember recently a post about a place that sells repro lenses. Here's the
link.  http://www.oldcarlens.com/

I didn't see lenses for a 300, but they do have them for 56 Imps at $60 ea.
Just click on the product link at the bottom of the homepage and look for
the link to your car.
