Hi all:

 

I am looking for a 1958 Dodge radio speaker cover with the air conditioning "clam shell" rotating vents.  I attached an image for reference.  I'm not sure if Ma MoPar used this set-up for any other year or make.

If you have a spare, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Mike

'59 are similar except they have some artistic ridges front to back, and they lift up higher. You can see a lousy picture on one that I installed into my new '58 Fireflite to see how tall they are.
If you can find a set of '57 pop-up vents, you can insert them into a standard '58 speaker grille assembly. The rotating vents themselves are the same between the two years. They are pop-riveted into place on the '58 grille. That's what I am planning to do with one of mine.
