Title: 1957 Cadillac Dash Pad / Cover
Post by: Dennis Branch on October 16, 2013, 03:56:34 PM
I am looking for the dash pad or cover for a 1957 Fleetwood 60 series 4 dr hard top. If someone has one they bought and never used or maybe installed on a dash and sold the car before installing it I am interested. Any help would be appreciated. I can be contacted at 601-467-9244 Thanks Dennis Branch

Denis you should be able to translate the site click on the English or US flag, if you email them they will reply in English . They used to have a depot in CA  not sure if they still do. I have got dashes from them before & I live in New Zealand . The dash I got of them for my 57 Eldorado was perfect just like original it had the original Buffalo Grain they have the other Grains as well the cost was about $600.

Bought my 1957 Eldorado dash from RD Autoline, as Grant says the Buffalo grain is excellent. They were able to tone in an identical copper color to fit the rest of my interior after sending them a sample. Cut-outs for A/C vents I had to do myself.
Did cost me a lot more than $600 including shipping/coloring - but well worth it behind the wheel. :)

There's a place in CA called Just Dashes http://www.justdashes.com I've heard their stuff is better than the original. I plan on using them when the time comes.

Just recently worked on a car with a dash from the people Tom mentioned I would never use one of those dashes in a quality car.

The recommendation I received was from 3-4 years ago, please disregard just dashes. Since I've not personally used them, I cannot vouch for them. Grant, can you elaborate? I'm new with my resto and need tips and all the tips I can get!
