I think it looks nice! After you get a new one and get that one to fit right it will look even better. That's cool!

Re: need help deciding on this door handle

I don't know...it doesn't look awfut, but I think it might be too round for a square body.

That same handle was used up through '66.

Hey John P- That handle is also a pushbutton.

Re: need help deciding on this door handle

Sticks out to far for me. There are many options to choose from, but that one doesn't look right to me.
