58 desoto fender ornaments... this guy was busy drilling holes all over it...

i think there is an extra 1500$ in perfect emblems.

I like the stainless lower rocker cover and the fender side emblem. They arent horrible i guess, but the rest is just insane.

I think it is a good looking car.  I am surprised it has a manual transmision.  I think that is unusual with the 325.

Three! hood ornaments. He really did go nuts with it. He also has a '59 lancer on his glove box instead of the right one, but he makes up for it by including another knight emblem to the left of it....and chroming the entire thing!

I'm just disappointed he doesn't have a continental kit too with the fender skirts installed on it instead of sitting in the trunk.

Powerflite - 2018-06-22 9:57 PM Three! hood ornaments

I thought about doing that to my car at one time!  He missed a chance to have the canted '57s on either side and the upright 58 in the middle - that could have looked pretty cool.

not a bad car... its a pita to fill all those holes though and repaint. you have to reshoot it essentially...

wait that custom royal roof trim is another 300$ probably... so he probably has 2k in extra emblems and trim.

That would pay for the welding of the little holes and reshoots... Sucks you have to reshoot the hood.... CANT BELIEVE the guy couldnt resist putting D500 emblem on it... cmon dude...

Last guy bought it for 28k? Thats a bit of a markup in 3 years time guy or a dealer is flipping maybe...

He also has the 14 inch repop hub caps.  Those are 100% stock, the edges are thicker and it sticks out more.
