Re: 1955 wing nut
Hi John,
I have attached a picture of a wing nut from my 57 5 star bowtie car.
It is chrome as Roy mentioned.

Re: 1955 wing nut
John I am not sure of the notch you are talking about.
I did go out and take another look at it this morning and take a few pictures. Maybe what you say is a notch in the picture is just a nick in the chrome.
I do not see any notches at all in the wingnut.
Attaching a few more pictures with the wingnut installed on the car.

Re: 1955 wing nut
thanks again dave! the nuts used on the 55-57 seem to be identical to the wing nuts used on 64-72 cars. in a thread "wing nut nickel and dime theory" there are thickness, lenght, and even a discription of the proper gap in the wings.- Top
