Title: '40 LaSalle Coupe - Need Exterior window trim
Post by: techlord on July 12, 2019, 01:00:36 AM
Really just looking for both doors and quarter window exterior trim in good condition.  Not sure if they can be fabricated or who does that sort of work.
Series 52 (40-5227C)
thanks

Missing, unless dad had them hidden somewhere, which is entirely possible.  Unfortunately he passed in late 2016 and found out about a few resto's he had in the works and sold all and decided to roll with this due to the rarity. 

What about having them fabricated?

They are impossible to make. I suggest you get the ones Brad may have. They are the same on any 40/41 "C" body coupe. Make SURE you get the little moldings that cover the joints where  the molding meets. I may have one if you need them. They are chrome plated brass & only require a chrome flashing.

Thanks Brad & Bob, and good info.  Definitely know I need at least 2 of the cover moldings.  I found the doors but they are horribly pitted so I passed for now but the doors are really the issue.
