Hi. about 12 years ago, I bought a 36 Terraplane, never got around to restoring it and finally sold it to somebody who restored it.
I just now found a box with 2 plastic trays full of original screws and bolts which I carefully collected from my car and 2 other rusty ones that I found in an abandoned junk yard. There are also: 1 door handle, 2 dome light housings, 2 of the body pieces that attach to the metal strip between the 2 front windows, 2 inner rear view mirrors (complete but not pretty), and - the highlight of this collection - an unused, very nice looking, plastic piece of the hood ornament (flying cigar). It has only very faint scratches on it. The back tip has a very small imperfection that you'll only notice when you move your finger over it and will not at all be noticable when mounted.
