Young Ed Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 NOS? Really? http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-VINTAGE-NOS-1949-PLYMOUTH-HUB-CAP-RIMS-PS-878-/261286438266?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1120 NOS yes mopar NO. This was a common practice back then. THey couldn't make reproductions with the proper spelling so they made it look close. I have some p15 ones with lots of MMs like this and a Dodge one that says Doooe. This practice still continues to this day on things. My buddy bought an aftermarket replacement grill for his 97 chevy truck. The OEM one had an outline of the bowtie. The bowtie is trademarked so the new grill just had a rectangle shape that happened to have cutouts to allow the factory bowtie badge to still attach.

Scruffy49 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I kinda like those... anything that draws more attention at Cruise In night... I'm still in lust with a 41ish Dodge coupe that showed up 2 weeks ago with a chromed big block sticking up where the hood used to be... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldguy48 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 If they were mine, I'd probably use them as "wall hangers" in the garage. But definitely would not install them on my P15. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 J C Whitney specials. Probably about 4 buck a piece back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckleharley Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 If they were mine, I'd probably use them as "wall hangers" in the garage. But definitely would not install them on my P15. Wayne I'd run them just to see who noticed. One of the coolest things I have ever see was at a car show in western Pa. Guy had a 55 or 56 Chevy there that looked like a show car,with a big sign saying "See if you can spot what is unusual about this car." I walked around the damn thing at least twice and couldn't spot anything,so I gave up and asked him what it was. One side of the car was a 2 dr sedan,and the other side was a 4 dr sedan. He told me he had just finished restoring the car when somebody ran a light and centerpunched him,and the only repair parts he could find were from a 4 door sedan,so that's what he used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 NOS yes mopar NO.. . . Way back when I first got interested in old cars those would have been labeled "NORS" for "New-Old Replacement Stock". The NOS term was reserved for factory parts from the original manufacturer (i.e. Chrysler). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckleharley Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) Way back when I first got interested in old cars those would have been labeled "NORS" for "New-Old Replacement Stock". The NOS term was reserved for factory parts from the original manufacturer (i.e. Chrysler). Remember back when there was no such thing as a restored Ford with a Chevrolet engine and transmission,chopped top,red leather seats,air-conditioning,etc,etc,etc? Drives me nuts,and I'm not even a big fan of restored cars. My favorites are original driver cars that have only had mechanical repairs,but they are pretty hard to find.

I know I was a little annoyed at the NOS OD lockout switch I bought that came in an aftermarket box even though a mopar box was pictured. Guess that explains why it was 1/3 the price.....
