Re: 66 sqbk parts FS

I got reminders from both Peter Parker and Patrick, below, that the 
parts I just picked up must be from -65.  Can't be from a 66.  Sorry 
for my confusion, I'm just not as familiar with the older models and 
dates.  The previous owner died last winter and I can no longer 
confirm what the car was, but I do have photos of the scrapping out 
process.  At least it is clear that the car was a 1500S and the 
popout knobs are white plastic.
