Oriflow shocks is what they were called. My 51 had them originally. If they worked new anything like they did when I replaced them earlier this year, they suck. I found a set of Doetsch shocks that can be made to fit, much much much better than the originals. I will give the originals the benefit of the doubt right now, as they were 70 years old when I replaced them. I think the Edelbrock shocks used the same concept with a lot of updating since then, like being gas charged,
