Need a Cadillac Part Number Application From a Pre 1958 Cadillac Parts Manual

 

Saw Some Interesting  N.O.S. Accessory Sun Visor Shades recently

 

Part Number 145 5599    these would be listed in the Very Back

 

of the Master Parts Manual  in the  Accessories Group    51 .0475

 

Group Number Ranges are shown on top corner of pages

 

Probably these have just a one or two year applicability.

 

Also Towards the Front of the Parts Book is the PARTS HISTORY Section

 

fortunately these are in Ascending Numerical order and if P/N 145 5599 is found

 

it shows any super sessions OR the date when it was removed from the Listings.

 

Thanks to any one who can help.

This is from a 1954 Master Parts list effective date May 1, 1954:

 

NO listing for this part number 145-5599 in group # 51.0475

 

BUT in parts history index it lists :  P/N 145-5599 Removed 8-1-52, and next line lists 145-5602 USE 350-8522 5-1-52

 

Does this mean they added 145-5602 before the removed 145-5599?

Thanks Bob,

 

I dug out one of my EARLY 50's Cadillac Master Parts Manuals

 

And It Turns Out my buddy's NOS Accessories  P/N 145 5599 Group 51.0475

 

Are  INSIDE SUNSHADES for either '48 or '49 Cadillac 4 door Sedans

 

Basically a pair of tinted transparent thin shaped plastic pieces

designed to tuck under the edge of the windshield rubber seal.

 

Don't know if the were made for other years and models,

but they are the only ones I have ever come across ,,,
