    Looking for a nice hood bird and a trunklid lock chrome bezel for a 55 Customline if anybody knows their whereabouts, thanks

    The hood bird is repro for around $150 from, Carpenter's, Mac's, Concours Parts and others. The 55 Customline boot lock/ bezel stands out on its own and is not repro'd by anyone. I have seen them go for over $200 NOS on eBay. It may be easier to go with the 53-4 boot bezel and lock or the 55 bezel and lock.
    I wish you luck, I just had to pay what the market determined for mine - not cheap.
    Regards

    Would the trunk (boot) key lock cly be the same from a 55 Victoria? I have the one off my 55, I shaved all my deck lid trim.

    No, but if you have the whole ***embly with the trunk emblem and the separate boot lock it can be made to work.
