Title: 1954/55 headlamp retainer
Post by: Roger Zimmermann on May 07, 2017, 08:09:06 AM
For a 1954 car, I'm searching one retainer for the headlamp. This part is attached to the front fender; the bucket with the headlamp is screwed on it. This part is identical left and right and was used for 1954 and 1955.
I'm attaching a 1956 drawing; 1954 & 55 are similar. What I'm searching is encircled in red.

If in decent condition (do such parts get rusted?) I would like to buy it.
Thanks Michael!

Hi,
Yes, it's in decent condition, it has some surface rust, but nothing serious. I have seen these parts rusted right out before. I will remove it from the car for you and send you pictures, can you please send me an e-mail at faded.fins@yahoo.ca and I will send them
Thanks
Michael
