This is the Chevy film to compete vs the 59 plymouth and ford wagons... they only briefly mention the 59 plymouth wagon... they go after the Ford more... I guess performance wise Chevy lost to Plymouth or they would have mentioned "performance"... but they didn't... It was all about windsh...

Cool yeah I have the Plymouth length of the 58 but I want to confirm all lengths and widths, I have the front and rear pattern off a 57 dodge.

I would imagine the Desoto used the same size as the dodge. I don't have the wagon info so ill need to get that.

length is no issue, width is the issue.

Yes, with and without the pattern. I can polish in the cold so I worked on that during winter now that's its warming up I can polish, headliners will be rolling soon. how wide is the 59 headliner fiber board? its like the Dodges right? sideways instead of lengthways like the 57-58? If this goes well...

I am considering selling them like that unfinished and I bought a stock of old replacement antennas.

I have been sidelined due to weather and job but I will get them when it warms up.

I'm working on the headliner perforated section while I wait for the garage to be warm.

I am working on them slowly, I got held up with life big time like everyone. I am buffing and polishing when I can get a couple free hours here and there, there is a lot of labor in just one piece :) I have the chromer all ready to go. I am not sure of cost but they wont be crazy. I think the old gu...

oh your quoting me on FWL

I have a ballpark but I will definitely be under 500$.

I can sell them my mold when I'm done!

I wish one of these guys would get into the FWL market but the sales numbers are pretty low.

It sucks having rare cars when you want people to repop parts.

yes they will come complete with gaskets and masts. I am finalizing price based on polishing/chroming costs.

I never stated a price and mine will be complete, where did you see a price? or that I would only sell the bases? I will of course if someone only wants pieces. Vans doesn't seem to be interested much in FWL cars. How much did vans think theirs would cost? They sell a single antenna mast for like 90...

These are heading to the chromer soon, these are the tilt base type.

They should be ready to ship in a month.

The first pic is the new and the old, the full pic is the repop

Walked into the Van's tent to pick up a gas tank, straps (yes, mine won't fit) and filter. They want to repop the complete antennas! I gave them mine, they gave me $300 worth of parts for $125 - and I get repops when they're done! SCORE!! Might want to tell them my repops will be heading to the Chr...
