Eureka Flower car, parts available (not for sale)

S

Stan Swanson

If you, or anyone you know is looking for parts for an early 60's flower car restoration, get in touch with me. My 1961 Eureka low-bed flower car is beyond salvation, and the glass will be going with the 59 M+M I just sold. not looking for money (unless I put time into dismanteling it), but the 59 buyer will probably leave the remains with me. Already have interest in the sills and badges, I don't want to scrap the stainless if there is someone who needs it. You can see the car here, http://postimg.org/gallery/ajysvexi/.

you end up with one of the sills left I in need of one for this 58 project. they are the same pattern and I can do a cut and splice. in fact if you sell them let the buyer know I'm interested in his old ones.

Sold close to a month ago to a forum member here although CL ad remains up.

You're already aware the sills will not match up from '58 to a '61 but did you know Eureka used sill plates specific to flower cars as well? Even same year on a hearse, ambulance, or combination are not the same. As far as cutting/splicing their thin aluminum stamped pattern>>>>> Good luck with that!

Just to be clear, if the buyer of my 59 wants the entire car, it's his, as it was sold as a package. If he only takes parts off of it, I will be looking for homes for the rest of it before I cut it up for scrap.
 
just getting my needs out there. but we are well aware of what will and will not fit. all I'm looking for is a piece with the correct pattern. splicing it will not present a problem, for me anyway. from looking I can see that Eureka used the same pattern bought in a long, wide strip. they would cut and fold them to fit what ever car they were working on.
