However, OPG showed no interest in pursuing this question with their supplier in order to correct the error in their catalog which said it to be used only on 59-65 Pontiacs with automatic transmissions. This surprises me since I would have thought OPR would have wanted to correct the error once it had been brought to their attention.
I was getting the same run around from all parts houses concerning drip rail molding for my 62 Catalina 2dr post. I thought because no one sells the stuff for a post car that I could just buy it in bulk from the supplier. I get the point that these places don't want someone doing a end run around them to the supplier, but their unwillingness to obtain it and sell it to you in bulk is just a control issue.
