In case you didn't catch it in the wagon forums, I just picked up a 1972 Custom Cruiser. It was suggested I try hunting for some missing bits here on the forums, so here goes!

In need of a hubcap, as one is from a (guessing), late '60s Olds and doesn't match... the rear driver's as you can see here:

In need of a 15" hubcap like this, which I've seen on Custom Cruisers, as well as some 98's and 88's. Our local yards have nothing like this... nothing on ebay. Found it at hubcaps.org but $100.00 (plus shipping), a peice is a bit too steep for me. Here's the desired cap:

And again:


Here's a shot from hubcaps.org:



Here they are on a 98:

an 88:

and this beauty has a set on too:

Also missing a peice of the chrome strip running down the center of the hood... I think this treatment is found on 88's, while the 98's have chrome strips on top each front quarter panel instead.

The piece on the hood is complete, but the front tip (mounted to the facsia, not the hood panel), is missing. It's very small, only an inch or two long. You can see the spot where it's missing in this picture:

 

These other bits may be more obscure, but it's worth a try:

Looking for the driver's side, front-corner peice of chrome trim that surrounds the wood paneling on the side of the car. It's a corner peice of trim, also quite small. The missing section can be seen in this picture:

Might also be interested in a solid replacement rear bumper somewhere down the road, as the ends are rotted on mine.... I'm thinking this would be tough to find, unless a Ninety Eight one would work. Anyone know if it does, or where one may be available?

Any help or advice appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Mmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm. As I said before, very nice. I checked my extra wheel covers, no luck. They are called wheel covers when they cover the whole wheel from rim in. If they only cover the center of the hub, or half the wheel, then they are called hub caps.

 

Is the fender piece stainless or diecast? If diecast, I have a 76 Cruiser that may have it, but it may need rechroming. I'll have to check the parts book to make sure they're the same. I need to check that bumper interchange for you too. My trouble right now is the parts book and the computer are in different places.

 

Thanks for the enthusiasm and help thus far!

rocketraider: I believe the trim peice is diecast. Would appreciate any info scrounged about bumper interchangability as well.
