    Looks like 55 Bel Air 4 door front spears and 2 door quarter spears. I cant see for sure on my crappy computer. But it looks like what I have mocked up on mine.

    It looks like a shortened piece of rear trim from the other side placed on the door.

    Yes, but it could be polished out maybe??? I have seen them painted to match the body, so why not all polished? I do concur that it may look a little narrower than the Bel Air trim though. 210 maybe?

    Belair would have white, but maybe that was removed?? Looks wide like chevy quarter trim. Im also wondering about that floater in the front, my guess is Kaiser what do you all think?

    The rear tail lights are modified '54 Mercury. The side trim may also be '53-'54 Mercury.
