Hi all,
I noticed in the trunk on driver side only a 1/4 rod .
It start at center of trunk latch ,it goes through a rubber grommet . Then goes
across trunk lip, up over the tail light then down to the well area behind tire.
It looks like a tension rod that some manufactures use as a trunk lid spring, but it has nothing
to do with the trunk lid.
Any ideas what this is for?
are you looking at the gas tank vent tube
:001: ha probably :/ palm to forehead .
thanks I will look further .
The mentioned vent tube exits the tailpan above the license plate.....close to, but not at the center of the trunk latch.

yes Jeff, sure has been a long day all year. :)
Part of the problem comes from not knowing the 57 like probably 99.999% of the guys here.
I own a few other old off topic cars , that I know inside and out and take them apart and put together in my sleep
and I have seen people ask about certain things about those cars that are in that hobby. Its like how can you own that
car and not know what the H@$% they are working on .
Uhhhh guilty. :/ I bought this car only on the looks of it, absolutely glad I did, and keep learning more and more about
mostly through the good guys on here.
Thank you.
