    There is almost complete parts for duck bill wipers on ebay now. All that is needed are the small stainless wire conectors.

    Probably just a conversation piece, as they were discontinued! LOL

    That is Eldon's. Actually, it is bright white in color. This picture shows it as it really is.

    Mine is light grey with black fenders and running boards and No red.
    I will have black stripe and possibly a charcoal pinstripe on moulding along center of sides.

    Thanks, Skipster. With the help of you and a lot of others, I am coming up with all needed parts. So far, I have been able to come up with everything I need, including fender lights and exterior horns. The most dificult thing we have to do yet is form the moulding that goes between rear panels and matches up with doors.

    I am currently restoring a set of exterior lanterns and have a set of replated landau bars I am thinking about using to make it a funeral home service car.
    It is fun and a challenge. As we go on with assembly, I'm sure I will find some other missing pieces.
