These are fun. Have a number of them from the 50s and 60s somewhere.
When I was purchasing NOS from my hometown dealer years ago he always
insisted on using the prices in these books. Got some nice deals as a
result and wish I had gotten more from him. Hindsight huh!!!

Subject: [FWDLK] recent find
Hello All,
I just wanted to share a recent find with all of you. I was
on ebay a week ago and bid on a Mopar Parts price list book. It shows the
Factory Retail Prices at the factory and the net prices of all the parts for
1960, 1959 and below. It may even go into the early 50's. No one else bid on
it so now I have it. It is really neat to look through the book and see what
things cost then. For example part no.s 1943542 and 1943543. These are the
part no.s for '59 Plymouth front bumper wing guards. The factory price for
those are $16.50 ea. and the net price is $10.73 ea. Man, what we all
wouldn't do to go back in time and get parts for that price! How about an
automatic headlamp dimmer package or a mirror-matic? Well, the headlamp
dimmer is $49.70 at the factory and the net price is $38.60, the
mirror-matic is $23.25 at the factory and has a $16.28 net price. I could go
on and on with this stuff but I just thought I'd share a few things with all
of you. Now, I don't want to get bombarded with e-mails but it would be fun
to see what this book has. Maybe if we can get a list of "curiosities" that
everyone always wondered what the price was for a part; maybe we could post
it somewhere for everyone to see. Just a thought. Well that's all for now
folks.
Take Care,
Frank
P.S. I'm sure there's alot of folks out there who wonder what the price was
for '58 Bumper wings. If someone can give me the part numbers for front and
rear, I'll post them tonight.
