Default 54/5 Customline trunk lock

Saw this on eBay. A few years ago I paid a lot of money for a new Old stock one of these. This looks like good value for a driver.

My '54 looked like this before I shaved it.

That is for a 55 Customline. Maybe used it in 56 also for Customlines, not sure.

Yep I know it fits a 55. Don't know much about 54's. Usually this is the good way to buy bargains on eBay, when the seller gets the description mixed up. This part is one of the few that is not reproduced for 55's. As I mentioned I paid a lot of money for mine when I was looking.
56's use a moulding with spears on the side.

I thought you would know but put it out there.I find the opposite at times if listed for wrong year it can be overlooked there are both ways of looking at it.I used to find good buys when listed as 50s ford period other than the odd 39 shitzerberer list under ford
