Any help would be appreciated, I am looking for a pair (or one) of trunk lid hinges for a 1957 Roadmaster Riviera Model 73. The hinges on this model are a bit more complicated than the hinges on a...

Your 55 special could not be too much different from my 57 roadmaster, I have a 364 motor and am thinking I would like to change to an alternator. Did you use new brackets? Did you have and retain...
This is something I should likely do to my 57 Buick, model 73 Roadmaster. 364CI. What alternator do you recomend? What all has to change? Thanks for any help I can get!!
