It is difficult to determine the condition of this fender. However, if you need one you know that sometimes a gamble needs to be taken.

Here’s something I haven’t seen on ebay in probably a decade, a used PAIR of 65-66 T-5 emblem. The foils look to be in nice condition, except the black anodizing has faded. Also, one appears to have lost two of its mounting pins. However, the plating on the badges looks to be good and pit free. I’m not too sure how you’d re black the emblems, but here is your chance to get a pair of matching emblems for your car.
The last single emblem went for over $400 last week. That emblem was in worse shape than these appear to be.

1938 -1939 American Bantam Mascot / Hood Ornament
A year after Nash used a Jarvis hood ornament to grace the hood of its Lafayette, it made its appearance on the American Bantam. I have never had the chance to hold a Nash unit and compare it with a Bantam one, however I have heard that the Nash mascot is a bit bigger to suit the larger car. The Jarvis 3408J is a hard piece to find in any condition these days. Usually, they are pitted beyond recognition, broken, or bent. This one is pitted, but a good shop should be capable of repairing it. Interestingly, these were reproduced in the 60’s-70’s in Japan, although little is known about those reproductions. These were used from 1938 until the 1940 model cars began production.

1938-1939 American Bantam 15 bar grille shell
The 15 Bar grille shell was used on a large number of cars, and is preferred by many. This one however, gives you an idea of what many restorers have had to work with. The sides of the grille apron, where it meets the fenders are destroyed. You need to have a good set of hands to make this grille fit a Bantam nicely again. I think my grilles were mostly welded back together in the same area, but thankfully very skilled people came between me and the damage. A nice bonus is that this may come with the Bantam badge, although the listing does not mention such. This should be correct for 1938 through late 1939 cars.

1930-1940 American Bantam cowl section:
These aren’t very common to find these days. Most hot rods have had these cut off, and a lot of survivors have been heavily modified. Except for the cut out for the battery, this piece doesn’t look to be in bad shape to provide repair panels for your car. It even has the tabs where the inner fenders mount and some of the lower beading. Who ever removed it from a car did so poorly, but there is a lot of meat for someone to work with. This particular unit is most likely from an American Austin. I have a couple of these, otherwise I’d be bidding.

Here’s something I haven’t seen on ebay in probably about five years, a used 65-66 T-5 emblem. This one is far from perfect as it is suffering from corrosion, but I know I would have been very happy to find this when I first got my car. It’s a shame the seller doesn’t have a pair.

Here is a neat vintage photo of a 1939 Bantam roadster. The car wasn’t the star of the photo, however there is enough of it that it serves as a pleasant backdrop for what ever tale your imagination may weave. With trim rings and the top up, there are some interesting details showing which may help you in finishing up your restoration. Note also that the car presents in a monochrome color scheme, with a gap at the front of the hood where it meets the sides, and very light colored piping on a dark top.

Original Stant rooster radiator caps are few and far between these days. The one waiting to go on my car is a reproduction made by an ABS club member since the Stant units are just too hard to find and are too expensive when they are found.
This particular one has some painting over on it and it looks to have some pitting. I’ve heard that these are not supposed to be chromed, but are rather a duller finish. Its hard to tell what this rooster would look like cleaned up, but the seller’s refund policy may make it worthwhile to see if this will work for you.
Notice the markings on the bottom: Stanco THE STANT MFG.CO. CONNERSVILLE, IND. PAT’S.PEND’G. AA-2840.

If you’re in Germany, a T-5 brochure may be a more common sight. However, if you’re in the USA, the chances of coming across any advertising material for a T-5 is near impossible; unless you enjoy spending hours on German Ebay.
Don’t forget to convert your bid into USD from the Euro prior to bidding and you may want to contact the seller to find out what shipping to the USA will be.

Although the focus of this site shifts on occasion. Today I am embracing my inner Model T enthusiast. I’ve always wanted a brass car, and stirred up quite a ruckus on the MTFCI form back in the day asking which was better: black or brass? Since then, I’ve gotten a 15 Touring, but the brass cars still get my attention.
So, if you’re like me when I was 20, maybe the idea of building an early brass T from parts how about a nice 1911 engine?
