Doug, from the pictures, that is a nice looking roadster and nice price, too.

Old Man, caps for sale: Don Summer, 105 Kinross, Clawson MI, 48017.  248.435.6115 or 435.2916 no web or email.  From "The Plymouth Bulletin" Parts Reproducers section.

Advertising 28-29, 31-32 parking cap; 31-32 goddess; 33 goddess (lock-on) and hood ornament; 34 & 35 ship.  Did not list a 30, but might be worth a call.  I bought one for 29.  Very nice, and you pay for it!

I've got a repro by Don that I've had for 10 years that is beautiful...not cheap, but well worth it and it looks better on the car than my "repaired" original!

If you need a cap, I would definitely invest in one!



Gary 30U

The parts book lists caps as follows:

Raditor filler cap assembly --- Q, U, part number 43137
                                            30-U, part number 314253
                                            PA (optional equipment) up to 1670001 U. S. built , PB, part number 392919
                                            PA (standard equipment) -- PA after 1670001 U.S. built, PB, part number 380375

The Q and U had the winged cap. The 30U had the flat, what I call the bat wing cap. The reason the 30U cap is so hard to find is that people simply disposed of the plain flat cap and replaced it with the winged version.

Just my thoughts.
