You can say that again. That is when you find them. Ebay is a good start.

You would think that someone would reproduce these. With the prices for used junk they would be a money maker. I email Goodmark the auction links and ask them to repro them but, nothing yet.

I haven't seen any for sale lately either. I looked closely at your photo might be you had a couple of straight ones before. What happened in the picture

The car in the pic is just another victim of Katrina I found while surfing.

Are those the same for a 1960?

[threeimpalas]

No, they don't interchange with the '60.

I put a pair of NOS rear panels on the '61 wagon, which are wagon-only items, last summer. They didn't cost anywhere near $400. Guess that was a lucky purchase!

I bought those rusty ones for $102.50 knowing I would have to do some repair. I just got them and they aren't as bad as I thought. I will have to weld in some of the lip rusted away on one but otherwise just a little regular paint and body work.
threeinpalas is right about the rears I have seen some NOS for station wagons on ebay for less money and bought one to see what the difference was. They are a few inches shorter than the car but otherwise the same . You could add some extra sheetmetal or get a wagon rear bumper and good to go.:deal
