Try www.antiqueautobattery.com. They have your battery. For others, who want an antique battery apperance, such as '53 era and more, I can provide authentic looking decals for the face of your modern battery. Just remove the existing decal and degrease before application, it displays very well. I'll try to add picture of my old one, a little greasy by now.  Art Woody

I went to vintage car batteries and they offer two batteries for a 57 cadillac . one is a 60K it has two rows of 3 caps ... the other is a g27d it has 6 caps in one row . i will try to add a pic. .. does anybody know the difference / was the G27 for the Brougham Only ?

Looks like one is not going to fit. 60K is 13'' wide  and G27 is 12'' wide. Better measure your tray. Art Woody
