Below are pix I took from the booth of a vendor at Carlisle that had many decent '59 Plymouth parts. If you have an interest, feel free to contact the vendor directly - smoknrams at yahoo dot com. If you have an interest in these rocker moldings, contact me directly - I bought them!

When did he buy it, Matthew? Before or after I ran after Billy late in the day Saturday, to ask about the rocker moldings? It was when I went to pick them up, that I took these pix.
Hello, if any one knows or hears from or runs into this this seller (William "Billy" Cross) please let me know. I paid him for a bunch of these parts over two months ago and have yet to receive them and have tried every way possible to get back in touch with him, but after receiving my money he has not answered or returned any calls, texts messages, Facebook posts, Morris code or smoke signals :/ I am really hopping there is some extenuating circumstances that has caused him not to respond, as I hope he is not intenualy blocking my calls. I belive people are good to thier word as that is how I am and how I do buisness but unfortunately that is not always the case with others.
I'm not mad about being screwed out of money as I am about missing out on these parts, that I was truly excited about using to help complete my SF. I guess my search for these parts will have to continue.
Yes, the horn ring and he said he had the wheel too but it was completely cracked but was a core so I paid for it too. Thats the strange thing about it, he had it all posted on several Facebook pages. After I paid him he reposted marked what was sold and what was left. Every thing seemed on the up and up, but then a few weeks went by and no parts arrived, so tried every way possible to get a hold of him, fiannaly he responded once and said he had a family emergency (brother in law had a heart attack) and had been out of town but that he was back in buisness and every thing was good now. understandable and I was not mad, things happen. I even sent him 75 bucks to add another piece of trim to the order, again things happen and I was understanding and he said he would get it all in the mail. Fast forward two months and I can't get a hold of him at all. I am not giving up hope, he seemed like a nice enough guy and changed the ads so maybe something happened idk. The fact that he told you it was sold gives me hope. I wonder if something else happened to him? But still, I see him marked online every so often?
I was really hoping to get that windshield it matches the tint on the rest of my glass perfectly and I had my heart set on the deluxe steering wheel. But, things happen I hope that maybe they will still show up at some point.
Hi all, I am happy and sad to report that Billy got in contact with me. Unfortunately he had a family/personal emergency, but he is going to help track down what the hold up on the shipment is and hopefully get this deal complete.
I'll let you all know when I get every thing and how it all works out. Fingers crossed that the wind shield makes it ok. After I get it all I will do an up date on what all I have acquired over the last year (including a 59 Savoy two door).
It took a couple months and a few dozen fallow up phone calls but Billy came through for me!! Windshield made it to my dad's house just fine he is going to un box the rest for me later and move it over to my shop for storage. I bought the sun visors, a radio, clock, stone guards, the deluxe steering wheel (needs restored, but it is a good core) and Billy said he threw some extra sport fury stuff in there as well. Now that this stuff is there I can check it off my list and start searching for more items. I should have a sport deck coming in the mail any day now. To add to the mountain of parts I have collected, Any way I will reach out to Billy and see what all he has left of his plymouth stash and post it here. For you all to see if you need any thing.
I'm super relieved!! These were some huge items on my parts list. I am feeling pretty confident now, these were the bulk of original /vintage hard to find parts I needed. The rest are all fairly easily obtained on line.
And I can steadily whittle that list down over the next few months.
William! Billy Cross is posting parts for sale in the Forward Look Mopar Network on Facebook. He's not selling anything he's already sold you, is he? Just making sure...
No, looks like every thing I bought from him arrived at my dad's safe and sound and is not listed. I would recommend buying from Billy, I think it was just couple of rough months for him personally that lead to him not shipping and being hard to reach. He had a death in the family that he took very very hard. But sounds like he is back in buisness and is trying to rise some cash. He has some good stuff still.
