Looked through the usual sources but see no reference to these. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks but I bought those thinking that was the correct piece too. Those go under the top rear edge of the front fenders.

Are you sure you are not talking about the gutter component that goes on the back edge of the fender.
Maybe better pics will help...

Sorry about that I am going to have to look at mine when I get home. I replaced something that looked awfully similar on my 64 Eldo and they are sorta called the same thing. https://www.steelerubber.com/hood-to-cowl-weatherstrip-70-2057-43
I am not sure if it is year or model specific. For 61 the only two I know of is the foam seal that half goes under the cowl, and the other half goes to the hood cowl seal. The other is the gutter that goes behind the to edge of the fender on the hinge pillar.
Trying to identify the parts in the parts book. But I cannot find pictures of these.

I think that's them! Of course, they don't look quite like that anymore but I'll check the dimensions. Thank you!
Edit: close but no cigar. Shape is very similar but on the '60 they're only 7" long
Next suggestion is check with CPR (Cadillac Parts and Restoration) in New York. If you are on Facebook there is a 59/60 Chapter Page you could post the question as well.
(Post update)
Well, disregard, these look like the ones that you already have purchased.
(Take a look at the hood to cowl side seals on this website.

A couple of years ago I recall there was a supplier in Sweden reproducing them, but I don't remember any of the specifics.
