Maybe this will help ... these are a pair of original 32 Ford 3W armrests ... :)
One still with the original upholstery still on it.
Yes that is the type i am looking for.
But where can i get a set of repops just like them?
I know of NO REPOPS ... Just like them ... :3dSMILE:Quote:

There is a fellow on eBay who lists some aluminum homemade looking ones that he says looks like the originals once they are covered with upholstery. I just looked on eBay and did not see any now ... but he does list them from time to time.
A friend with a 32 Wesott 3W coupe used a set from a 57 Ford ... the ones from the rear of a 2 door sedan.

IF you have not seen the original ones installed ( and who has ?? :rolleyes: ) they look pretty nice. They are not too big, not too small and are shaped like they belong in the coupe. Just my nickel ...
I have the real ones in my car ... SO ... I will be using them but IF I had to come up with something ... I believe I could go for the 57 Ford ones ... :D
Hey Deuce
Does your wife know you are using her bedspread for photo background?
Bet she would love to see those dirty nasty ole armrests on her bed. ;)
It was the day she was going to wash the spread anyway ... so I lived to mess up again :rolleyes:Quote:

YOU are on your own with this guy :rolleyes: ... Because ... I have not ever done business with him or do not know him. I just see his ads on the Fordbarn ...
Can you send me a link to the add?
How much are they going for nowdays?
I did find some repops in the Lebaron Barnes book for $125
It is listed hereQuote:

Never needed a set. :) I do know that the originals, when you can find them, go for 4 to 6 hundred dollars a pair. WHICH is stupid $$$... money that could be spent better elsewhere.
Fortunately for me ... my 3W was fairly complete and unmessed with, when I got it. It had been stored inside since 1958.
