1953 c1
Hello,
I'm new here. I have a '53 I am restoring. I am coming up empty handed looking for some parts. I need some of the chrome body moldings and a few miscellaneous parts (door striker, windshield wiper components, possibly others)
Is there anyone that would be willing to point me in the right direction to get these things?
Thank you,
Dustin

Welcome to the forum! There are several 53-55 owners on the forum. I’m sure they will be in touch soon. How about a few pics of your project?

What number 53
Side molding is harder to find
Wiper transmission is easier
