1956 bumper jack - wanted

Just can't stay away

Two items my Patrician did not come with are the hub caps and a jack. I've kind of gotten used to the black rims, but not thrilled about the lack of a jack. Don't even know what it looks like. If you have one to sell, I would appreciate it. Thanks

I've got plenty of hubcaps, real nice ones too. Free if you pay shipping and consider a donation to the website (not mine).

No idea on a jack.

Make your life significantly better by not having the factory jack. They are superlatively adapted to bending the bumper edges, particularly the fronts. Get a little floor jack and hide it behind the spare tire.

I always wondered why the bottom of my front bumper had a couple dents

Marvin, here's a jack if you want one, but I would go with Ross's suggestion of not using one. My Clipper came with its jack and I've never tried to use it for anything. Jacking directly on the frame is very easy.

'55 400. Needs aesthetic parts put back on, and electrical system sorted.
'55 Clipper Deluxe. Engine is stuck-ish.

And have a couple of good blocks of wood for wheel chocks and to place under the jack in case the arm won't quite get the tire far enough off the ground and out of the fender well for removal.

If you're not having fun, maybe it's your own damned fault.
