I'm in Hershey this week shopping and ran across Obsolete Ford Parts from Oklahoma City. They have a huge inventory down here and the staff seems knowledgeable. Anyway, I wanted to buy a new set of fender skirts for my newly acquired 54 Crestline Convertible. He had a new pair made by a company called Kim (I think) and the price was reasonable, given the fact that all they need is paint. I questioned these as being correct, since they are over 6 inches tall. I was expecting a pair in the neighborhood of 3" tall. I bought them anyway and later found a car with the correct skirts that were the 3" versions. Ten minutes later, I found another set of the 3" skirts and bought those for the car. When I returned the 6" skirts to Obsolete, they gave me a full refund, no questions asked. Stand-up guys... I then bought about $200 of additional parts from them without hesitation. I will buy from them again.

I think the deep skirts were aftermarket items. I have a set of vintage Foxcraft ones for my '53. I like the look better.

I would not buy anything from Obsolete Ford parts in Oklahoma City. Had a huge bad experience with them several years ago, that in the end cost me money out of my pocket through no fault of my own. just their bad business practices. I learned my lesson.

Alaska Jim I have also had a couple of bad experiences with them in the past, but I have had some recent dealings with them and they seem to be greatly improved.

okiedokie, glad to hear that they may have gotten better. the availability of quality pars is getting harder, and harder to find.
