I would pass based on the limited information given. You state you are very new at this but seller probably isn't. There are few good $1000 cars out there but many, many bad ones. If the car was a good deal it would be gone by now as there are a lot of flippers out there.

The most obvious difference is the shape of the wheelwell cutout. Yours is a regular 88 sedan quarter, I've shown what an 88 series Holiday hardtop sedan (4-door hardtop) looks like. These arrived in mid-year.

That one took some digging, it was only shown in a MoPar Collision Parts list book.

Part no. 1860787 fits a 1959 DeSoto. It's called a Lower Rear Quarter Moulding which is somewhat misleading. I'm guessing it goes on the very rear top fin tip above the upper round taillight. There's another moulding that goes over the top of the fin and this is the one underneath.

As I recall all these old junkyards back in the day were always wet and muddy even in the middle of summer during a drought!

I walked around my "kinda local" old junkyard yesterday, the stuff in there looks just like your pictures! The trip was necessary as I was looking for a replacement grille thanks to a deer encounter, I was lucky and found everything I needed. Nice day for a winter walk too!

1966 Pontiacs have an ammeter in the dash, there is no idiot light, just sayin'.

I had the book "Pontiac The Complete History 1926-1976" autographed by the author Bonsall and it generated no interest at all.

Nick, that's a 1949.

You could try Fatsco Transmission Parts in New Jersey, they've got you covered.

Padgett might have a point. Ignore the hood ornament and what do we have? Looks more like a 1959 Ford especially with those dual spotlights and that flash of headlamp door trim 3-4 seconds in. Also the dashboard hump in front of the steering wheel is more pronounced on a 59 Ford than a 58 Merc. And the inside rearview mirror on a 1958 Merc convert mounts on the dash, a 59 Ford convert inside rearview is mounted above. Finally 58 Merc automatics are a pushbutton setup called "Keyboard Control" mounted on the dash to the left of the steering column while a shift knob (as a Ford would have) is clearly visible in front of Blake's right hand. I wish there was more of the car shown, I'm still not 100% sure what it is, might just be a studio prop and not even a whole car..........And to all a good night!

If that little round dot on the side of the handle says GM ACCESSORIES in it you have the real thing.

1941 PASS Thermo gauge P/N is 1511051,1942-1948 Thermo gauge P/N is 1512078. I don't know what the difference is.

It depends on what you're trying to do, I don't know if everything's contoured the same and will be an exact fit. I CAN tell you that a 98 rear wheelwell opening is longer than the 76 & 88 series. The 98 fender skirts are totally different as well. Period chassis and body publications are available from literature sellers that list NOS part numbers and applications.

Thanks Dave for the info on Kovich's Garage, I have never been through Nesquehoning.
-
No, not the same.

Can't remember what car this came in but it was a bookmark in a shop manual. The garage wrote someone an 88 cent receipt in 1940 for buying 5 gallons of gas.

HS103 is a 1937-1940 Ford Passenger Car rear spring shackle (optional rubber type), can't help with the other 2.

You are on the right track. After you remove the inside upholstery panels beside the back seat there there's (probably) an access panel held on by screws. After that's off you'll see that the large rectangular stainless fender shield is removed by loosening the attaching nuts around the perimeter of it.

I thought they were called Swan Neck mirrors.
