Upon further inspection, they indeed are metal in great shape. Yes, i know thats fairly cheap but im not currently using them, and if you would like to pay more, please do! I wont mind. Extras really, that others may need. And they are for a 66.

Would you like to see one? I have a 66 Cutlass front fender extension made from plastic or nylon. The parts book does not list a plastic/nylon for a Cutlass but they do list a nylon extension for a big car. The one I have is from a Cutlass.

Ship it up here and I'll take a look. I have probably parted 100+ 66s over the years and never saw a plastic, nylon, rubber, or what ever. All I ever saw were plain ol pot metal-----not saying you don't have one, just saying I never saw one. I guess if someone wanted to they could mold one from anything........LOL

Hahaha easy there fellas...I dont doubt that there are some made from rubber that are much less common than the pot metal ones like mine. Do they have any factory stampings on the inside or any marks at all? Anythings possible, i can't understand why somebody would chrome a set but here they are on my shelf , never mounted! BTW if any wager is won or lost, i expect a cut for stimulating the conversation! Ha

The plastic part is a hard plastic with no identifiers that I found. The two alignment dowels are cut out along one side, and the middle bolt boss along the side is not there. Hence it uses one fewer bolts to mount it to the fender.
I suspect Olds made some of them as prototypes, just as they made some plastic inner fenders while using steel on most cars. If the plastic stuff held up as well, perhaps they planned to go to it later, universally. It might even be that there were only right hand plastic fender tips, so they could be compared to the durability of pot metal on the same car, same environment.

Well,you did say you haven't seen one,I'll give you that but when you come with I guess somebody could make one,that's where I got torqued. Why in the world would somebody make a 66 fender extension out of something other than die cast? I'm here to help and swap information,not BS anybody. So no problem here.

We're cool man and I didn't mean any disrespect but you know I've been around a while and I figured you would know that I'm straight up.

Come on Danny,you know I've been doing this for a loooooong time and particularly 66's. Me and Dad (Rund) have probably got 66 stuff laying around for you.

Hey you boys know I'm just teazin. I was in the towing business ( 70 to 76 ) and my race car partner ran a huge junk yard. The oil embargo hit in 73 and muscle cars and tanks became practically worthless. Chills run down my spine every time I think about what we crushed. OMG

Somewhat off topic but I began raiding junkyards around 1988 to about 1990. Lots of 70-72 Cutlasses still showing up then. I was keen enough to pluck as many taillight and parking light lens, headlight bezels, grilles, etc. as I could but sold them cheap before the prices went high. Don't remember seeing many 64-67s then. I remember a stripped 69 442 post without a doghouse. Also a 69 Grand Prix with SSJ 428 badges on it. Motor and trans were gone. Still a very nice car. I got the dark green headrests out of it. I remember those junkyard cars were in much better shape than what I had to settle for later in the 90s and early 2000s.

I was in the Pa/WV area in the mid 70s and the supply of 66-7s was drying up there. I found some in the early 80s in NV. By the 90s there was nothing left, with few exceptions, like the 66 I got from a guy who bought it from a NV junkyard to scavenge a few parts. I got what was left in 1995 and a decade later made the Rund re-creation from it.
