Which trunk/deck lid hinge is correct for a 59?

[Jill J.]

One of mine seems to be bent so I ordered another set that I thought was identical to mine (the picture on the ad has a slider). On mine, the hinge has a slider and the new set does not. See my pictures. I circled the image as reference and added "new" to the photo to indicate the one recently ordered.

Can someone please let me know which one is correct for a 59?




Thanks in advance.

Jill,
My early 59 has the slider as in your first photo. It appears the part you got is either earlier or later that 58-60.

Jim, Have a 57 and 58 both have the slider. One of the real problems today is reproduction parts that are not the same as the originals. I don't know of anyone that makes the correct hinge. I would try Ebay. Or swap meets.

Thanks Bruce. I really appreciate it. I'm going to start searching again. I've been trying to get into contact with the seller that I purchased the hinges from but haven't heard anything back from them (so maybe their mine to keep for now). The funny thing is...when I bought them, the ones I selected to purchase did have the slider (at least that what the picture represented). We'll see...

Late 59 also has slider.
Why not repair / restore your original ones?
Keeping the original parts is always my preference and I would think yours can likely be fixed if it is just bent.
