No $ interest. Priced out of sight but if you have really, really, really deep pockets... And don't tell your wife what you paid for them. She might get suspicious if you don't eat too well next month.

Wow!  They are something you don't see everyday!  I wouldn't be surprised if they were the only ones available on the entire planet, given how most, if not all cars of that year needed their bumper extensions repaired/replaced.  Love to know their history.

You can save 33% if you don't mind re-chromed.  My initial interest in Cadillacs started in the mid 50's.  I was finally able to purchase a 55 Coupe, and found out the problem with the "boots".  The one I bought had decent boots and I was able to get them re-chromed for about $300.00  Needless to say, that was in a galaxy a long time ago.

Wow.  These are still for sale?  I first saw them back in late 2015 on Craigslist.  I think the market is speaking and the seller isn't listening.

If they were '59 ends, he'd probably have gotten his price long ago.   ;)

Those boxes don't look like they're from the '50s.  More like '70s or '80s.

Izzat the right part number?

Yes, this is the correct part number. However, the part group (7.831) is more recent tan the one from the fifties.
By the way, 1954 bumper ends are the same...

I noticed the same thing about the packaging. Amazing they were still being offered from the factory as late as when that packaging was made.

As long as demand is there in large enough quantity, they produce the parts!
