Location: Australia | Can anyone supply a picture of the jack in the trunk on 57 -59 imperials. I want to see how it is installed and secured in the trunk.

Location: Under the X in Texas | I expect this is the same as '57-59 Chrysler and DeSoto. They have a tin hook spot welded to the right side floor just inside the vertical trunk panel. The cars then came with a silver cad plated threaded hook and strap bracket to hold down jack and handle. 300 Club has perfect repro of the hook and bracket with wing nut.

The '59 is on the opposite side from the '57-'58's, at least in the DeSoto. I would assume at least the Chrysler is consistent with the DeSoto, but I don't know about the Imperial. |

Location: Australia | The Imperial goes on the Left inner side of the trunk unlike desoto. It has all the mountings but need to see a pic of it all tied down. |
