I am looking to upgrade the '57 wipers to electric. I had an address or number for "Oldsmobile Mike" who offered some insight on the switch. Mike may not be his first name. I can't find the note. I am also looking to get rid of the padded dash and go with paint. Also looking for the clock and associated bezel.

Look into a Newport electric wiper motor, easy install and they work flawlessly. I've had one for a number of years and wouldn't build another classic without one. Ask around others have them here and the reviews are good...... Tedd......http://www.yogisinc.com/index.cfm/pa...cat/cat281.htm

PS. here is the number for USA Parts Supply somewhat like Fusick I use them for a comparison when shopping. They do carry some parts and services that Fusick doesn't. (703)335-1935. and have a paper catalog.

USA parts supply & fusick are chock full of Chineseum parts -- and priced to the sky and
beyond, as well...... Not too mention, many things they can't get, period...

I have some gorgeous N.O.S. parts -- I am the only one in the universe with NEW ==N.O.S.
ONLY== Lower Ball Joints for these vehicles... Sorry, no body or interior parts -- Mechanical
Parts Only....

Always best to simply call me -- Craig -- 516 - 485 - 1935...

Craig,
I'm looking for rubber trim pieces as well as the plastic insert on the trunk badge, clock and bezel for the center dash.

Thanks,
Rick

Rick,
Mechanical parts, ONLY, indicated....
Those things you are asking for are in the "cosmetic world".
NOT my department..... You have to see the other guy.
Yours, Craig.

I converted my 57 super 88 to a Newport electric. Easy installation and I used the rotary switch that came with it. I removed the dash lighter and used a headlight switcb bezel to blend it in on the dash.

Great 💡 idea!

I only have a 4bbl carb with manifold complete for 57 olds. Needs to be rebuilt though
