1956 Wagon Fins

[Carl Purdy]

Has anybody have a set of 56 wagon fins? I need some bad. Or the one on the drivers side. I can make the pass side work. I guess I will have to make some. And they sure won't look like factory. Any help would be appreciated.

Give me a few days to see what I can come up with. About 20 years ago my brother and I parted out a '56 Parkview. I seem to remember having one whole fin, and pieces of the other.
Which side was which [?] [?] [?] Good question~ but there was enough left of them to be useful to someone~ which is why we took them off the car before it got turned into tuna cans...

Tuna cans?!?! Well, I suppose that's appropriate, being as my friend Dave calls Bess a Tuna Boat(LOL)!

Good luck on those fins! Bess' right side got crunched on the back edge and I'll have to address that one of these days. I'm tempted to just remove them. Already pulled the trim off. Flippin' stuff wouldn't stay put and was always waving saucily at the Semis as they passed. Made Bess look like a tart![)]
