George, I have the 57 GM Accessories Canadian book. if I scan the it and post the images in my photobucket with the link in the library here, would that help? I'm not thinking of selling it but would gladly share in online.
Carl I would like to see it in the library too. I would like to find out the part number for the accessory windshield washer kit and if more than one style was available. Was there a foot pump operated one and another style with a co-ordinator on the dash switch ?
Thanks Al

George I was going to suggest evilBay, as I have bought several sets of 55-56 tail light lenses there, but my heart almost stopped when I saw the price on these:
Carl and Dave, i appreciate the help. Carl, i have the 1958 version of your 1957 GM Accessory manual and it has most of the 1957 stuff. Actually what i am looking for is the accessory brochure that is in colour. The accessories were all illustrations, not photos. I foolishly sold one back in the mid 80's not realizing what i had then. Thanks for any help folks. Cheers. George

Al, I just spent over half an hour fighting with my Photobucket account trying to scan and load pages. It keeps taking me to the login screen everytime I try to navigate the site.
I'll try again another day, I'm out of patience for Photobucket today, sorry.

Maybe I'll just post the pages here. I'll do more later tonight if I get a chance.
George. I have one end cap that would need rechroming and some repair for rust but expect you are looking for something better. Can send a photo if you have any interest.
Any idea where I might locate a wiper/washer knob for my 57?

Hello Gordon, good to hear from you again on C.P. here. I will PM you the name and number of someone that might have that wiper knob you are looking for. As for the bumper caps, i would be curious to see photos of the actual condition. I will PM you my email address. Thanks again.

Gordon, PM means Private Message and that would be in your own C.P. INBOX.

Ames Performance has backup lenses but they too are a bit pricey:

Might try checking evilBay every couple of weeks, I have had parts that I was searching for eventually show up after years of looking.
Dave
Catalog is a bit old but maybe try calling Ames to see if they still have these:
