I need a pair of the small trim moldings that divide the vinyl area from the painted portion of the upper door.  In the attached photo, the small trim inside the red circle.

Let me know what you have.

Thanks

David

I have a LH part, in decent shape. $ 10.00 plus the ride. This part may come from a 1956 car, but I don't find its reference in the parts list. In my opinion, it should be the same part for 1955-56.
By looking again at the picture, I may see the difference: the '55 cars don't have the chromed molding on top of the trim panel; the dimension from the part you are searching is therefore longer than the one I have.

Thanks

Yep, this is the conclusion I have too! Sometimes a small trim detail is making the whole difference.

Michael,

If they are for a 2 door car, then I will take them.  I found 1 ea. at Rick's, same side, but they were slightly different for fitment, the one that fit well had a broken stem, the other one was complete but did not fit well.  I assume there is a difference between 2 & 4 door cars.

Thanks
David

That's correct: 54-55 coupe have a different part number than 54-55 sedans.

For Michael Banks,  do you also have the "Fleetwood" tag/s that goes on the seat base?  I believe the 55 and 56 are different and I need the 55 version.  Unsure if on both sides or only one.

Thanks David, I'll just double check that I have them from a coupe and let you know for sure. The Fleetwood seat tag is only the RH side of the seat, I'll see if I have one of those as well
Thanks
Michael

M. Bankes
