FWIW, Partsgeek appears to just be an aggregator and not a retailer per se. I'd be wary, except for part number and manufacturer info.

I've run into Partsgeek in searches for parts for my 2006...

Looking for the driver's side molding extension for my '63 Bonneville. I found a NOS piece for the other side, and got a NOS trunk piece many years ago (from Joe Wheat, I believe - what a guy), which...

My mom rushed our next door neighbor to the hospital to deliver her fourth baby in what is now my '63 Bonneville convert (1969? '70?). I rode in the back, with the three neighbor brothers.

I can't swear to the '62, but my '63 was always a really rich amber, with some gloss to it. My dad got the car in January of '65, so I've had the opportunity to watch it age over time (and yes, I do...

Perhaps tangentially related, I use K&N in my 2006 STS-V. For the Northstar engines - even the 4.4L supercharged one, as I have in the STS-V - the filters are all little dinky things (not like my PF7...

I was going to suggest SEM, but held back, as my last experience with it was almost 40 years ago. I applied it then just as described here, and it came out quite well (hard plastic interior parts and...

I've been watching Route 66 lately. Chevy provided most of the cars, but occasionally other GM marques show up, including a '61 Bonneville in the second season and more than a handful of Caddys.

There's item # 266738062828 on eBay, which is just the mast including the stud. I'm not sure how much more you might need. Not cheap, but apparently correct (it's been so many years since my '63 had...

Both beautiful cars. Kudos for keeping them that way (g-d knows, it ain't easy, and not getting any easier as we age).

Yeah, unless you can figure out a way to wiggle the bar out (and the new one in) with the control arm in place, you've got to disconnect it. It's a pain, but probably less than trying to shoehorn the...

Thanks for the update (as disappointing as it may be). If the forum software would allow, I'd go back up and strike through my reference, but it's too late for me to edit my post, at this point.
