Maybe this will help ... these are a pair of original 32 Ford 3W armrests ...

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.Going 33 and 1/3 rpms in a IPOD world

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 ?? ) 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 ...Going 33 and 1/3 rpms in a IPOD world

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.

YOU are on your own with this guy ... Because ... I have not ever done business with him or do not know him. I just see his ads on the Fordbarn ...

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.

Yep. And I seem to move 1 thing and it displaces something else with 1/2 of that landing on the workbench and then I forgot where I was going with this other thing and I'll see something else that...
