[W126 Coupe] tow hook cover

[Dick Spellman]

Sorry Jack.  They are all sedan doors for sure.  I went through the 
exercise of running the part numbers a while back for another sec 
owner.  The two do not match up unfortunately..  You'll have to find a 
coupe tow hook cover for your sec elsewhere.  I think your 420 threw me 
as I always associated a 420 with a sedan.  Don't hear much abut 420 
coupes.  Sorry I could not be of help.
