Have you tried SASCO? I was amazed at all the new parts I found there for my 56 Parkview.

Yes, I've tried SASCO and Stude Int. Stude West and some others. Would really love to have this part. JR

Are you looking for one of these? It's listed as a '48 piece, but it's for a '58 sedan:

D'oh! My mistake - wrong pattern! I guess I don't know my 56-58's sedans as well as I thought!

Yea, close but no cigar! tried the place in Texas also, he only carries mechanical parts. Was hoping someone would know someone who bought out some dealerships or something. or maybe there is another stude place other then SASCO or Stude Int that has a good inventory???? thanks for the suggestions.

IFOUND IT!!!!! I never did try Stude West. He has about 60 of them if anyone else needs one. Only $30.00!! what a great country!!

Thanks Jim - I'll get one for my wagon.

Edit: BTW, not too long ago I bought these NOS for my '57 from SASCO. Came with the chromed bezel too! And they had the face piece for the instruments too.
