When it comes to restoring a classic 1953-1962 C1 Corvette, the difference between an average rebuild and a show-quality restoration often comes down to the parts you choose. Since the very beginning, we’ve taken pride in offering factory-correct, restoration, and NOS (New Old Stock) components that ensure your Corvette not only looks authentic but performs as it did when it first rolled off the assembly line.
From rare NOS rear bumper reinforcements to fully restored wiper transmissions, we offer C1 Corvette parts for a true Corvette restoration.
The Importance of Authentic C1 Corvette Parts
Restoring a first-generation Corvette isn’t just about making it look good—it’s about preserving history. Many reproduction parts on the market today are made with inferior materials or lack the precise details that define the original components. That’s why NOS and professionally restored original parts are the gold standard for serious collectors and restorers.
At CS of MD West, we go beyond just selling parts—we restore, refinish, and verify each piece to ensure it meets the exact specifications of the original factory parts. Whether you’re working on a 1956-1957 windshield wiper system or reinforcing the rear bumper on a 1961-1962 model, using the right components is crucial.
1961-1962 Corvette NOS Rear Bumper Center Reinforcement Bracket
One of the most critical—yet often overlooked—components in a 1961-1962 Corvette is the rear bumper reinforcement bracket. This small but vital part ensures that the rear bumper stays securely mounted, preventing sagging or misalignment over time.
Our NOS rear bumper center reinforcement bracket (3776420) is a genuine GM part, never used, and preserved in its original packaging. Unlike reproductions, this bracket:
- Maintains factory dimensions for a perfect fit
- Made from original tooling, ensuring structural integrity
- Correct finish and markings, just as it left the factory
For restorers aiming for genuine correctness, a NOS part like this can make the difference between your Corvette being what you want it to be and one that has succumbed to time.
1956-1957 Corvette Restored Wiper System Components
The windshield wiper system on early Corvettes is a hallmark of their design, but over time, these mechanisms wear out or become damaged. Finding original, fully functional wiper transmissions can be a challenge—unless you know where to look.
At CS of MD West, we offer professionally restored wiper system parts that are as close to factory-new as possible.
1. Restored Original Wiper Transmission Center Mount Plate
The 1956-1957 Corvette wiper transmission center mount plate can serve as the backbone of the wiper system, ensuring smooth operation and proper alignment. Our restored plates undergo:
- Complete disassembly and inspection
- Precision cleaning and refinishing to match factory specs
- Rebuilt pivot points for smooth, friction-free movement
This isn’t just a cleaned-up used part—it’s fully restored to like-new condition, ensuring reliability and authenticity.
2. Restored Original Wiper Transmissions (Pair)
A pair of correctly functioning wiper transmissions is essential for proper wiper operation. Our 1956-1957 Corvette restored wiper transmissions are:
- Disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt with attention to factory tolerances
- Correctly plated for corrosion resistance and durability
- Tested for smooth operation before shipment
These aren’t cheap reproductions—they’re original GM parts brought back to life, ensuring your wipers work exactly as they should.
