You’re welcome and glad it worked well for you.

Too bad it’s a 400! I have a really nice set of (1956) Patrician doors.

For which year and model? I have quite a few from the 1951 and 1952 at my Oregon shop. Probably door jamb buttons too.

That’s true for any posting anywhere, not just here.

Please read the posting etiquette about using all-caps which equates shouting here and anywhere else on the Internet.

Dwight Heinmuller and most of the other dealers carry the hoses. Dwight's are not exact reproductions but they are well-made and work perfectly.

Also be sure that the VIN plate on the cowl is intact and that it matches the title. If not or if no title, run away.

Does Washington State have DMV licensed mobile VIN verifiers? I am one in California but not all states have them. Anyway, if that service is offered there, it might be a way to go but you’re right, that isn’t the VIN. It would be 22XX-XXXX or 23XX-9-XXXX depending on whether 22nd or 23rd series. Sorry, my answer is more generic for 1948-1950 in general rather than for the Station Sedans which I understand were all made together but I am not sure of the details.

I have an AC powered tender designed for motorcycle batteries and it can switch between 6v and 12. However, as my shop is off the grid, I needed something that would work from the existing 12v solar panel.

That is the type designed for the rings with holes at the ends and are nearly always round.
