We've sold over 300 vintage tailgates that customers use in restorations and repurpose into benches, tables, fences or signs.   We generally have several different makes and models, so be sure to view our other auctions and check back often…you never know what Pete will find.


There is a reason they are so popular…the size makes them the perfect bench back and the old worn paint and random dents and dings give them unique character; the patina of the oxidized metal can only be produced by time and the elements.  


This tailgate came off an old 50’s Chevy and has a incredible "grunge" finish with faded turquoise, white and oxidized metal. (Use the zoom feature for an accurate visual description).  You can buy new jeans that were made to look old (and pay a lot of money for them), but it's not the same unless the battle scars were earned...same with tailgates.  This has some minor pitting that adds desirable texture.  There are a few small random rust-though areas which only adds character.  50 3/4" x 19 1/2".

Originally founded in 1972 by Dr. Philip Hessburg and his associates in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, out of a genuine appreciation for fine automobiles, the DIO gives credit to the designers who have given these cars their individual beauty.
