Replacement hood ornament on the PM 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4D Hardtop
I lost the hood ornament on my Precision Miniature 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 door Hardtop and I'm wondered where I can find this piece now? Anyone know if the hood ornament on the Road Signature 1956 Chevy could fit on the PM Chevy as replacement? Does the piece is the same size?

Hood Ornament
I have both the PM and Road Legends 1956 Chev. The hood ornament on the Road Legends Chev is slightly larger than the PM hood ornament.The wings on the PM hood ornament are relatively plain while the Road Legends wings appear to have a little vertical fin on each.Other than that, they are very similar and would probably swap in a pinch.

Thank you, Ken. I don't see a better alternative.
The PM Chevy is hard to find and too much expensive. I will try to get the Road Legends Chevy at a lower price.

I have wondered if the YM rear bumper would fit the
PM model in case one wanted to remove the cont kit bumper on some PM '56 BelAir models.

Anyone know if we can get parts from Yat Ming?
Does the manufacturer has an email adress in USA?
Robert, I didn't know than the PM 56 Chevy was available also with the continental kit. I can't answer for the rear bumper but it would be interesting to know.

Basically, Yat Ming is now known as LUCKY DIECAST. Contact them as they are now producing from the former Yat Ming molds.

Road Legend Bumper
The rear bumper from the 1956 Road Legend Chevy will not fit the PM 1956 Chevy without substantial modifications. The PM Chevy is almost 1/4" wider than the Road Legend Chevy from tail light to tail light.

Chevy's replacement Bumpers were three piece. One might be able to get extra center length since the
CK bumper does not have the bumper guards where the bumper was assembled. All you need is a stock bumper guard(2) put glue line under the upright guard. I don't have both so can't measure. I have the Green/Black 4 door hardtop only.
