Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1940 Plymouth coupe chrome retainer clips, fastener catalog, plymouth coupe


Question
I am restoring a 1940 Plymouth coupe. I am in need of chrome retainer clips for the side chrome strip as well as for the grill.  Do you know of anyplace I can secure them.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Scott

Answer
Hello Scott,

Two sources:

1) Check the MOPAR Parts section at Hemmings.com . There are several vendors who sell NOS (New Old Source)parts. They would stock direct replacements although the price may be higher.

2) Check your local automotive paint store with a sample of what you need and ask to see their trim fastener catalog. This is a illustrated catalog with currently produced rim and fender fasteners shown in actual size. Match your old part to the closest new and you should be in business!

Best of luck restoring this fine car!
