im looking for an alternate parts source for 53 chevy sedans. i was planning on vending through "the car shop" because they were highly recommended. however, 10am today i tried to place a substancial order online but the 49-57 parts cannot be ordered online. so i called them and they promptly put me on hold... for 15 minutes, i hung up and called back... on hold again 13 minutes later a lady couldnt tell me why 49-57 parts couldnt be ordered online. they have a new catalog coming out, but no one there knew when it will come out. apparently the new catalog has been "coming out" for a few months, so they stopped taking orders online??? i asked to speak with a person that can take a phone order and was placed on hold... 30 minutes later i hung up. maybe someone here can recommend a supplier that doesnt make it difficult to spend my money. thanks for any and all help.
chevsofthe40s has parts as well. I know what you mean about 'the car shop' been through it myself with my 53. Still waiting for the rest of my large order that has been on back order for a month.
national chevy, ordered from them no problems. have also ordered from car and truck shop without any problems. i think national is cheaper then chev's of the 40's. shop around you'll be suprised.
I have never ordered from obsolete I just found them like a month ago but plan on doing some ordering I'll let you know how it goes.
