Want to buy 1950 DESOTO parts
I am looking for excellent condition NOS or used OEM parts for for a 1950 DeSoto, Custom, 2-door Club Coupe. I am willing to pay a fair price, plus shipping to zip code 12804. Please call me if you have any of the following parts:
(518) 792-6830 (If no answer, pls leave msg - I will call you back)
1) Push-in beltline moulding clips. These are retangular in shape (7/8"W x 1-1/4" H) with a protrusion that pushes into a 5/16" or 1/4" hole to hold the clip in place. The beltline moulding then snaps over the clip, which holds the moulding in place. Need 12-14 of these.
2) Rear fender moulding clips. These are rectangular in shape (about 1-1/8" W x about 2"L) and have a threaded stud (10-24) that is about 3/4" - 1" long that goes thru holes in the fender. A washer and nut is then threaded onto the stud to hold the moulding in place. Need 12 of these.
3) Rear fender stone shields. These are attached to the front, lower portion of the rear fenders by three threaded studs. They are usually chrome-plated die cast metal (but may also be stainless steel). Need 2 of these (one Left, one Right). Do not have a part number.
4) Right rear fender moulding. This is a tapered stainless steel moulding, pointed on each end, is 54-3/4" IN length, is 1-1/4" wide at the front, 1" wide at the rear and has a "rib" running the length of it. Need one of these. Part number is 1333866.
5) Retractable 3-section Radio Antenna. Must be correct for a 1950 DeSoto, mounts on the left front fender (near the cowl area). The mounting surface is sort of oval shaped, made of either rubber or plastic and fits the contour of the fender. The antenna has a ball tip and is three sections, which push down inside a hollow tube assembly with a bracket at the bottom which bolts to the bottom of the driver side fender. The antenna lead comes out near the top of the tube and plugs into the side of a MOPAR Model 808 radio. Need one. Do not have a part number.
6) Rear chrome bumper guards. These bolt onto the rear bumper, one Left and one Right. Not sure of the length or width. Do not have a part number.
7) Backup Light chrome bezels. Need one Left, one Right.
License plate chrome bezel and lens. Need one of each.
9) Signal Light lever with plastic ivory color end. This is threaded on the end opposite the ivory plastic end and screws into the signal switch assembly on the steering wheel column. Need one.
10) "Custom" door scripts. Located on each door, at the forward end of the beltline door mouldings. They are ribbed in appearance, with raised script letters
"Custom". Need one Left, one Right.
11) Rubber door sills. These are rather hard, but somewhat flexible rubber and have a metal plate moulded in on the underside which has studs that push into rubber grommets. They are wider at the front, narrower at the rear. The top surface is ribbed in appearance. Need one Left and one Right.
