They’re part of the folding top mechanism, Convertibles today may still have them but they are on the inside of the top material not the outside.

Here’s some better pics of how they work.

Google image search!

Worn throttle shaft bushings.

I always wondered wtf landau bars were until I saw an old vehicle with them as they were originally used.
They were functional.

No 58-60 is without problems at this age. All are hard to find parts for and pretty much a restorer's challenge.

Isn't that just a vinyl delete? Naked top Mark IIIs are rare, but not unknown or unique.

If the vacuum actuators to the headlamps are rusted on the bottom, you could have a pinhole leak. Clamp and isolate each lower vacuum line near the motor to see if you can isolate the leak. Do the same with the vacuum tank.

This forum re-dates the iPhone and smart phones in general and image editing is lost on many. Luckily, we don't get too many complaints from the die hard fans and stragglers who come around nowadays. Thanks for posting your images. Your participation is appreciated. However, I see you are linking to...

Please post pics of your 74!

Hissing from the switch is obviously a leak.

Look for Either D2VY-11654-B or D5VY-11654-A without Auto dimmer.

There may be a D4VY PN, but the MPCs don't list them.

When you pull the switch, try to get a PN off it.
