Those headlight assemblies are chrome plated plastic and rare these days they show up on ebay now and then. Tony

That Rupp rust and other brand of rust big or small can be made to look new again.

I have shipped big items with Greyhound shipping they could be really slow up to 30 days during the holidays also, a manager at Greyhound stated the shipping business was not part of the Greyhound transportation business it was a separate company.
