Patrick has discovered an eBay auction,
for what the eBay vendor calls part no. 1690
822.
The 1958 parts book says that 1690 822 is the "Rr.
Dr. Side Mldg.-RT", which would be the right rear door side molding, in civilian
talk.
The diagram shows this to be the horizontal trim
about a third of the way up the door, on the LY1 4 Door Sedan. The diagram
for the LY1 Special 4 Door Sedan (a Southampton or hardtop) only provides part
numbers for the trim unique to that model, although the other trim appears in
the drawing. The inference I would draw is that the trim that is not identified
or specified would have to be the same as the corresponding pieces in the
diagram for the 4 Door Sedan. This would be done simply to avoid repeating the
same data unnecessarily.
Why does that eBay vendor dislike Canadians? I have
no idea but, as a Canadian, I have looked at a lot of that vendor's auctions
over the years, but I've always respected that vendor's desire to take a lower
price from one of his fellow Americans. Sometimes capitalism works in mysterious
ways, so who am I to interfere with it, by bidding, contrary to the vendor's
wishes?
