1950/51/52/53 Cadillac stone guard - fake air scoop

[Hilarius]

Hi,
I bought a 1952 60S ( four door Fleetwood) a while ago which I am presently restoring here in Germany.
I very badly need what the parts book calls stone guards, others rear door trim or false air scoops (see picture).
It's the vertical pot metal chrome trim on the rear doors.
I need right and left. They are for 1951 to 1953 cars, maybe also 1954.
Please, if you have one or both such parts in good to fair rechromeable condition, without damage, help me.
I also need one hood spring as the car came with only one (see picture).
Any help or offer will be greatly appreciated.
Please write here or to: hs1940@t-online.de
Thanks.
Hilarius.

I need the same parts for my 53 Series 75 which are slightly longer than yours.

50-52 convertible or Series 75 (pot metal) drivers side would be perfect.

Please share any leads you may get.

Tye,
these parts are very hard to come by for the small series and even more so for the 75.
I had just one reply and bought a fairly good LH one.
Nothing on the RH side, yet.
I'll certainly inform you when something turns up that might interest you.

Just in case... These are the same '50-'52 and '53 is "one year only." And 1954 up is a totally different body so nothing will work from these years.

Thank you Barry for the clarification.
I'll keep looking for a 1950-52 RH one then.
