Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005Ebay gets more: 53-54 Turn signal lens
Is NOS that much more desirable or is this just lack of information that Collins has repopped these lenses? NOS 53-54 Turn Signal on eBay running away: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=7996455160& sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT vs. Collins StudebakerParts.com https://www.studebakerparts.com/studebakerparts/parts/agora.cgi?product=misc51&c art_id=vL5feA.a7120*a05OAw Henry Votel Forest Lake, MN I think NOS are better than the urethane castings which tend to be brittle and sometimes soften in the summer sun. In '03, I had several 51 plastic grill bullets, which came from a large inventory a fellow imported from Beirut, which he sold to me. I placed them on ebay, & stated that "Quality reproductions are available- this is for the restorer who knows the difference" They popped the BIN every time at $85.00 > Is NOS that much more desirable or is this just lack of information > that Collins has repopped these lenses? > > NOS 53-54 Turn Signal on eBay running away: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=7996455 160&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT > vs. > > Collins StudebakerParts.com https://www.studebakerparts.com/studebakerparts/parts/agora.cgi?product=misc 51&cart_id=vL5feA.a7120*a05OAw > Henry Votel > Forest Lake, MN Hit it right dab on the head.

[quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> Henry Votel >> Forest Lake, MN I've sold a couple of NOS sets on eBay and always got over $100. I run Chuck's repops on my own '54 and love them. I think the repops are perfect in every way and can't be told from originals (at least with my old eyes). -Dick- A couple of my '54 grilles on ebay have the lenses attached. |
