What a tease!
Hey Gwank. Are those the ones crager used to sell? Those where the some of the best made louvers. I used to install a ton of them back in the day. I don't blame you for hanging on to them….

Yes, those are genuine Cragars. I found them last year but just found a set of brackets a few weeks ago so hopefully I'll have them installed this year

Default Cragars too


Found these Cragar louvers on a late night craigslist search across the USA. They were all the way in California and had been in an attic since the 80's. I had to make my own brackets. It was not too bad. Good luck finding a set. I'll keep my eye out for you

I was fortunate to find a set of the true cragar louvers... They are not around anymore... So you've gotta find someone willing to part with theirs... But there are two style variations available new by aftermarket companies... So, it's just a matter of whether or not you want the true cragars... Or a different brand/style... Good luck!
