Looking for parts

I am in the process of restoring my 1929 Model 60 Landeau 2-door. I am missing the polished caps on the Landeau bars behind the rear windows. Does anyone have these for sale or a diagram of what they look like so I can have replacements fabricated.
Thanks!

Hi Dennis....

Check out my latest parts list (the one from Williamsburg).

These caps are listed under "Prop Nuts" The ones I have are polished stainless steel.

Good luck with your restoration. It's going to be a great looking car ! !

I was named in a will and left a Durant sedan in near perfect unrestored condition, It has been in dry storage since 1942. For some reason my uncle took alot of the chrome parts off the car and stored them in his house. I have been able to find everything except the headlights, and the cross bar for between the fenders that the headlights mount to. I know that Durant went out of business in 1932 but he always insissted this was a 1933 model. Further note; my uncle was the original owner! So I am in need of a pair of headlights and the cross bar.

Re: Looking for parts

Tim,
What is the year and model of your car?

It would be a great help if you could take loads of pictures of your car from ever conceivable angle and send them to Frank who made the second post. It would be a great help to people restoring a like model back to it orginal condition as the factory delivered it to the dealer.

It is not very often that we see a car that has all its originl features.
