I'm not having any luck finding these rivets and willing to go to stainless that I can polish. I need these to put my trunk back together on my 32. when I took it apart to restore the chrome hinges and trim this is what was used.

Anyone have any ideas as I've looked in the usual places? I also checked with Big Flats Rivet Company,

Thanks guys.

Not sure if you go to Hershey but there is a guy who specializes in rivets. If you had one of the flea market directories you could probably locate him. I would suspect your rivets are nickel plated brass and they are available. Restoration specialties has SS tubular rivets that would work and should be shiny enough as they are usually polished smooth. Also try Grommet Mart, Hanson Rivet, and even EBay. While you might not find the exact head you want, no one will ever know the difference these days especially if all rivets are uniform.
