How much are you looking to spend? What condition car? Done? or needs total restoration?

Are you willing to travel outside the Memphis area? The possibilities go up considerably if you are.


Here's a '54 in Nashville.

Here's a '55 one state north of you.

There are many more out there if you're willing to travel more than 20 miles from home.

Fusicks has a pair of new taillight lens on EBay for $75 + $10 shipping. Rock Auto parts has the motor mounts for about $22 each and you can usually find a discount code for a percentage off the regular price. Larry
