I need a driver's side upper tailgate hinge for my '56 Champion Pelham
wagon.  It's part number 305163.  Seems as if someone would have one of
these on a shelf or in a back yard, but maybe I'm dreaming.  Thought I
could find one at Spokane, but there wasn't a single '56, '57 or '58
wagon in evidence, and no one had any parts for them!  Thought I might
find one at a reasonable price here.

I don't have one, but an curious to know if you do, but it's just
frozen. Maybe the homemade, battery-charger powered rust remover could
free it

It was broken at some time in the past, and welded.  It works, but the
rear hatch doesn't seal as well as I'd like, and I figure that a new
hinge would fix it.

How about a '59 wagon?  I believe they are the same as the earlier ones.  I
know '60-62 are different, though.

I don't know whether '59 Larks are the same as the earlier hinges.
Weren't many wagons at the National in Spokane to check against.

Same number through '59. Different after that.

Figured as much.  The reason I suggested 1959 is I'm sure there were more
wagons made that year than in the previous 3 model years combined, thereby
increasing your chances of locating one.
