[FWDLK] 1958 Auto-Pilot and Washer Bag Brackets

[Richard Woodside <rwoodside@xxxxxxxxxx>]

>From an off-the-list discussion, the washer bag
brackets are different between 1958 and 1959
Chryslers, as are the bags themselves.  Rather than
being a running change late in the 1958 model year, I
would think that it was definitely changed with the
model year change, because my 1958's build date was
July 1, 1958, so my car must have been produced fairly
near the end of 1958 production.

Does anyone know what the last date or last VINs were
for 1958 Chrylser production?

If you hear of any 1958 Auto-Pilot parts, please let
me know. I have most of the Auto-Pilot parts from a
1958 Imperial, but the Imperial has the control knob
mounted on the dash, while the Chrysler control knob
mounts on top of the steering column. Without that, I
can't tell if the rest of the steering column is any
different. In other words, does the Auto-Pilot mount
on top of the steering column tube, or is it part of a
collar that integrates with a shorter-than-normal
steering column tube for Auto-Pilot-only cars?
