What is this cable for?

Does anyone know what this cable is for? It’s has part number 2490182 ink stamped on the package. There is also part number 2525854 had written on the package, possibly a superceded number?

The cable is made of stainless steel. The cable measures 38" long from end to end. The one connector is a solid eyelet with a 3/8" hole, the other is a spring connector with a 3/8" hole.


Thanks for any help.

Transmission Cable

Thanks Car Nut! I will start looking in that direction.

I don't think so
Unless it was for a import
That early part number (2490182) was probably made and used before 1960

It's a rear bow tension cable for a folding convertible top...1964.

This makes more sense, when I looked up the part number on another site, the post claimed it was a transmission cable.

1963 & 1964 C body

I gave you bad info.

Thank You so much guys! I appreciate your time and help!
