Trunk Light Socket Very Strange?
I went to replace the bulb in the trunk light socket and was met by something I had never seen before: the socket appears to be made in two thicknesses. First a wide one with appropriate cut outs on the side where the bulb nipples fit in, then a long slender shaft (with a cardboard tubular insert) down to the positive contact. I've never seen anything like this. Only thing I can figure is that it is designed to have a metal rod inside the cardboard shaft that allows the contact to touch the bulb that is locked in up top. However, the book says this is a #89 bulb (which is very small) and would not fit this setup.
Explanations?

Norm, I have bulbs, in fact some new ones, but out of the Mercury Switch. I will put you on my Wait List. Jason.

OK, the answer was on the help area of this site. Duh!
So, Jason, do you have a mercury switch for this?

Can you help? Driveshaft Question....

Hello!
Newbie to the group here - we have already found tons of invaluable information on the board, so thanks! We are restoring a 1963 Series 62 Convertible. We are wondering if anyone knows of a source to buy the propellor yoke flange (that bolts to the pinion flange) for the driveshaft? One of our ears partially broke off. Not sure if we can buy just the yoke flange as an aftermarket part, or if it has to be rebuilt by a welder/fab guy? Maybe a salvage yard for a source? Again, any…

V.I.N. where?

Where can I find the V.I.N. on a 63 convertible? The usual space at the base of the interior windshield on the driver's side has been decimated by weather.
63 Trunk detail

Jason, I liked the detail and information you have provided. I would like to do mine similar to yours. Can you help? Do you have trunk material? OPGI is sending the trunk product for my 63 Fleetwood. But it does cover the entire trunk as yours was done. If you do not have can you give me a reference? Thanks!! Bob
