It's the sun shade for a glass sunroof. The tab contacts the glass roof and automatically opens it when you open the sunroof.

According to the 1960 Ford Police and Emergency Vehicles sales brochure the police package was only available on Fairlanes and station wagons. It was probably possible to order police package options on other models in order to make a sale. The 3/8 fuel line is puzzling. I'm not sure but I believe the HIPO option was available late in the model year. What is the build date of your car? Maybe an assembly line mistake or an aborted HIPO order? Did Ford offer a towing package in 1960? Do you know any of the history of this car? Is that a Michigan license plate? Maybe the car was originally put into service as a factory test mule. By the way, great car. It is almost impossible to find any 1960 Ford with no rust, in beautiful original unrestored condition, much less a Starliner! Congratulations on your find. It will be interesting to follow the discussion generated by this post.

I was a mechanic at a high volume Olds dealer in the late 1970s. When the new car prep department was too busy the service department mechanics would perform pre delivery inspections. Every new car had several of those type of papers laying on the floors and seats when they came off of the transporter. I think they were used during production to guide assembly line workers. They were normally thrown out during PDI. Being a car guy and knowing the value of original paper work, I would neatly fold those papers and put them in the glove compartment. My thought was that one of those cars would eventually end up in the hands of a collector.

It could be something as simple as a defective bulb. I've seen one of the filaments of a dual filament bulb fail. When the filament breaks it contacts the other filament. This causes a short between the parking and turn signal lamps. This results in the symptoms you describe. Be sure to inspect all bulbs.

There are some NOS Pontiac parts for sale that may sell cheap. There are doors, fenders and some hoods. Not a lot of items for the hot collector cars. If you are restoring one of the late 1940s to early 1950s Pontiacs this may be a chance to get some affordable NOS parts.

BrandMotors provided me with a few vintage photos of the dealership and gave me permission to post them here. That is Chico Marx and John Beber (BrandMotors grandfather) in the photo from 1952. They were friends and played cards at the Friars Club.

Thank you for the information. I have an old license plate frame from the dealer and was wondering about the dealership.
-
Thanks for the information. I was thinking it was possibly for a truck. It's available if someone needs it. Open to offers.
-
That's possible. I was wondering about the fixed position heat riser valve.

I'm selling this manifold. I know it is Chrysler corporation flathead six cylinder. Not sure if it is car or truck use. I don't know the specific application. It appears to be a NOS unit that has been media blasted and clear coated. The casting number is 620954. It measures 23 inches in length. Please study the pictures to be sure it will work on your vehicle. $275 includes free shipping to the lower 48 states only. PM if interested. Thanks.

I have an extra NOS one. I don't think it is exactly like yours but it is close. It was included in a NOS Ford accessory installation kit from 1960. These were equivalent to the plastic cable ties we use today. I don't know if they are reproduced. PM your mailing address and I'll send it to you if you're interested.

I'm glad it went to someone who appreciates it. He is blessed with a very good friend!

I probably should have posted this in this section as well. Here is a link to the ad.

I think this will work.

I have a nice used grille guard for sale. It was on my 1939 Plymouth. Please refer to the ad posted in the PARTS FOR SALE section.

This is a used period correct grille guard. It is a nice driver quality guard. The Crome is nice but there is some flaking of the chrome as seen in the photos. The flaking chrome was faced to the rear when it was installed on my car. It is approximately 14 inches tall. It measures about 13 inches from center to center at the base. I believe it is an aftermarket unit from back in the day. I know it will fit a 1939 Plymouth. It will probably work on many other cars of the era. Please be sure it will fit your car. It will need re-chroming for a show car application. The price is $75.00. Free shipping for the lower 48 states. Please PM if you are interested.

Try pushing the T/S lever forward. I think that's how Ford tilt wheels worked at that time. Very nice car!
