For fun only... Name this part

[Karl Wescott]

I do know what V8 this fits. But its kinda rare. Obviously a trunk latch striker... But what year and model???


Bonus fun points for posting a picture of the corresponding latch!


I will post back in 2-3 days with the spoiler answer.


All in good fun


Karl


PS. If you do NEED one I know who has a few NOS ones (not me).

There's one in my truck on my 46 coupe. Keep the truck closed and locked

I was going to suggest Babar

I'm thinking "Ole' Rusty Hooker" . . . but that is a bit on the edge . . .
