WTB '60 Eldo trunk letters with good pins. Need "E," "L," one "D," one "O" and "R."  Will buy or can trade some Eldo fender letters or '59 Fleetwood fender or trunk letters.

Randy:

I'm aware that there are repro letters out there, but my understanding is that they've been back ordered for months.

Brian:

No, they're not the same. The trunk letters are larger and a different "font."

I have quite a few loose letters that were reproduced by somebody that I got from Classic Caddies in Canada.
Looks like they will need to be polished or chromed ??

Hello Cliff

How much Cliff?  Please send me a message.  Thank you very much.
All good men own a Cadillac but great gentlemen drive a LaSalle. That is the consequence of success.

Since my letters are all intact except for some missing or shortened pins, I'm going to reattach them using some improvised retainers (little pieces of thin rubber sheeting and a dab of silicone adhesive on the pin.  This should  enable me to do a clean removal in the future if need.  I have not been able to find any kind of retainer/spring clip small enough to firmly grip the pins.  And the apparent original retainers, a few of which remain, seems to be one use only; even after careful removal, they seem to have lost their grip when reinstalled; they no longer hold the letters tight to the metal.

Try this guy on Ebay.
He claims to have several NOS letters for 60's Cadillacs.
This is a group that he is selling: Item#13114427162.
Good luck,
Lou

Lou:

Thanks for the tip, but those letters look like later '60s style.

Brian:

The trunk letters are a different "font" than the '59, and attach via pins directly to the sheet metal instead of going on a bar the way the '59s do.

I figured that but was not sure.
I have a 59 Eldo trunk stainless with letters and bar on ebay right now.
