Anyone have a set available? Thx.
I have a pair of the “corner keepers” which are kind of unusual. I got them in a bunch of bulk Cougar and Mustang Parts ( swap meet ) and they are obviously not applicable to my '69. They were in a ( not FoMoCo ) box labelled : NOS “Cap - Quarter trim, panel upper” - sounds like MPC language. They had the part numbers written down as C7WY-6531490-B and C7WY-6531491-B. Nothing unusual, so far. But have a look at the images - these ones are chrome ( which I believe were used in '67; the 1968’s used a painted version ) and have very prominent texture ( Fords famous ‘faux’ leather ) on them. I don’t think they are a re-chrome, why would anyone go to that trouble, and the deep inside recess sure doesn’t look like a re-chrome, as they are very nice and not showing the usual re-chrome ‘fading’ into the nickel or copper plate. Are they of any use to someone on here ? What are they worth ?
The chrome caps were not used on any Cougar. They were a part of some deluxe interior package for a Mustang. They will fit on a Cougar, they just would not be “correct” if that is a concern to someone. Or they could be painted over and used.

I thought that the early Mustang corner keepers were smooth, not textured.
