Title: 1938 LaSalle Hood Ornament
Post by: Brando on July 22, 2014, 06:05:32 PM
I am looking to restore a 1938 LaSalle hood ornament. Can anyone suggest the proper procedure?  How do you remove the fins so as to chrome the ornament?

Hello Brando

Glad to read you are improving your LaSalle.

I suggest that you acquire a new 1938 LaSalle hood ornament in lieu of the time and cost to rechrome.  Try Don Sommer 248-435-6115 9am-5pm EST.

I tried the phone number, but did not reach Don.  Is this the correct number?  Thanks
