long arm rest bases

[Jamie Carnes]

If we are making a wish list, I would like to see the long armrest bases and backing plates for the '70 cars reproduced. All I can seem to find are the short versions.

This isn't already done by someone, is it?

Jamie,
I made reproduction long armrest bases at least 6 years ago. I took examples of these to the GSCA Nationals and no one seemed interested in them. At the time there were enough originals out there that could be dyed. (There are probably still enough originals out there.) After selling only a few sets I decided it wasn't worth it and scrapped the molds. The chromed plastic base plate is a needed part and could be made and sold for a reasonable price. If there was enough demand and I could get deposits with the orders I could reproduce them. Duane (Classic Car Interiors)

Does someone know where you can get the bases re-chromed?...............Ward

Answered my own question, American Platics 734-721-1967 $29 a side :laugh:

If reasonably priced we will take a set.

Thanks for the reply, Duane. I ran across a couple of decent bases that I repainted. At the time you had these, I had just gotten my car, so I wasn't looking for new ones yet.

It could be a need now; I felt lucky to find mine. I had my plastic "chrome" backing plates "replated" by American.

I'm glad to hear those are available now from at least one supplier. Thanks for the info, 70Stage1.

I talked with Tony at Postons. He does have the long armrests, but not the bases or bezels.

Hi Jim

Do you have an e-mail for Tony (Postons). I need 17" for 68 Skylark and nothing around. Tks. Ron
