Looking for a few DM parts
I apologize if this is the wrong area to post this...
I'm looking for a few missing small parts on a few of my DM models. Can anyone direct me to a source for parts?
'57 Ford Fairlane 500 chrome exhaust tip (1)
'41 Chevy Pickup tailgate chain (1)
'48 Chrysler Town & Country tail light (1), antenna and the small chrome moulding at the front edge of the hood.
All advice on where I might be able to locate these parts is very much appreciated.

Here is as good as any place! Quite often fellow collectors come through!!!

Eric, just a suggestion but I have know some that have used cheap necklace chains for tailgate chain replacement. If it doesn't match perfectly just replace both sides to match. Hope that helps.

Good idea... Thanks! If I can't find a replacement I'll try that.

Eric, I can help with the DM '48 Town and Country....
Which side taillight do you need? I'm not sure, but they don't look to be interchangeable. And I need to know where to send the parts.
