Does anyone one have any original factory bumper wings for a 59 Plymouth ?.

Thank You
Tim Baker

Yeah, they are on my car! (sorry, TIm, I am not selling!).
I found one pair at a local swap meet years ago. I sold those to Tom Fox.
Then I found a pair on Ebay, and I was the only bidder(!). These are the ones I have on my car.
Listmember Ron Keij found his bumper wings in Texas, off a parts? car. I asked Ron for that person's contact information, as it is a factory a/c car, but Ron said the man stopped parting it out.
Ron, Marjo, and Matthew are extremely busy at the moment, getting their car assembled (you've seen the photos). Perhaps when he gets time, Ron can tell you how he was able to locate bumper wings in Texas, while living in the Netherlands!

We looked for 4 years for them and just found a set about 3 months ago.

There were 2 sets on ebay and my dad mailed of 1 them with an offer. If he accepted it he needed to take them of ebay and he did.
I'll keep my eyes open at Carlisle for you. Probably we can't find a set as we looked for them the last 3 times.
If I see something i will let you know

I will keep looking, and hopefully will turn up a set at some point. I appreciate other members keeping an eye out for them. I remember seeing a front and back set for a 57 - 58 Plymouth that needed redone, on Ebay, within the last couple of months. I can't remember if it was the front or back, but one set seems like it was bid up to like $676.00. The other was like $275. but did not hit reserve. Guess somebody really wanted those.

I am planning to be at Carlisle, at least Saturday, but may add a day to my vacation and drive out the 9th.

Matthew,

How much was that to get your bumper wings rechromed at Frankford Platers ?.

just so there is no confusion: 1959 Plymouth bumper wings are unique. They were only available for the front bumper. No other year "wings" will fit.

Roger is correct here, only the 59 wings will fit the 59 bumper.

My dad knows everything about the prices, I only mounted and polished them
