CONDITION REPORT: This factory-original pair is in premium, never-installed condition. They show a remarkably preserved factory mirror luster and completely pristine mounting hole pathways, displaying only the tiniest, negligible cosmetic shelf wear marks from decades of secure warehouse storage.
Up for sale is a premium, genuine matched left and right pair of factory-original accessory outside door handle shields (commonly known as "fingernail guards" or "scratch guards") for the iconic 1957 Tri-Five Chevrolet passenger car configurations, including Bel Air, 210, 150, Nomad, and Del Ray models. These heavy-duty die-cast metal plates sit cleanly behind your factory push-button handles to safeguard your door paint from nail scratches and key dings. Stamped on the rear inner faces with crisp tracking marks H533 L / S-255 L and H533 R / S-255 R as shown in the photos, this pair represents an exceptionally rare survivor find for any classic show-car project.
Please evaluate all the high-resolution photographs carefully to verify the exact surface luster, clear casting codes, and exceptional uninstalled characteristics prior to purchasing.
Sold Strictly As-Is: Due to the classic vintage nature of these original New Old Stock components, they are sold entirely as-is with no returns and no warranties. Please verify handle configuration compatibility for your build prior to buying.
Premium Safe Shipping: Highly polished vintage chrome trim requires deliberate handling. This pair will be individually wrapped in anti-scratch foam padding, nestled safely within layered bubble cushioning, and shipped inside a rigid box to guarantee they arrive at your door in immaculate shape via USPS Ground Advantage.
