[DeTomaso] AC registers source

I have several of the movable slats 13010A. The really difficult part to
find is the late model plastic housing that fits in the dash to hold the
slat. Those are non-existent. The comparable T-Bird housing is part of a
much larger molded piece, AIR. I know I searched the Lincoln and T-Bird used
part vendors and could never find the needed housing 13009B. The
vinyl-wrapped early housings 13009A are relatively easy to find.
Just my experience

All,
For years it was rumored that the Pantera AC registers were sources from
mainstream Fords. I recently learned this is 100% true. They come from early
1970s Lincoln Continental MkIII, and same-era Ford Thunderbird. A friend
found some on EBay and I was able to compare them. They are exactly the
same. See attached photo.
The vendors have not had any of these for years, I believe.
