Default dress up parts...

Got some cool valve covers at the Monroe, WA. swap meet for a $100. Anybody have an idea what year these were produced?

My bet is those are first gen Pontiac V8 late 50's Mickey covers.

Very nice! Been looking for those to go with my cross ram. If you ever think about selling them give me a shout. Thanks

The earliest ones have the oil fill on the right end like Keith's, not the middle. I scored a set at a swap meet years ago for $30. Mine have "59 Pontiac" (or was it "Pontiac 59"?) cast on the underside.

Posted the pictures as they were produced, maybe? The Thompson covers were produced first, what years? Second M/T from modified casting. Last one can be had at any swapmeet anywhere!
