attn' 55 pontiac owners, i'm looking for a p***enger side quarter trim for my 55' pontiac 2dr wgn. (non safari) have a in cl***ifieds and was wondering if somebody with a 2dr. sdn. or hdt. could measure their quarter trim piece. mine is 75.5" long thanks
My 2dr Chieftain sedan trim is 82 1/8". I've also pulled from a Chieftain hardtop the same length pieces. Any of the Starchiefs should be longer I believe.
thanks for the info. i thought they might be the same but not longer. time to find a 2dr sdn or hdt. and see if it could be shortened.
I bought a 4 door p***enger set after seeing what the original 55 2 door wagon trim was going for and cut and welded to the 75.5. This one is also non-Safari.
I have a set of 4 door '55 Poncho trim spears if you need them. I had the same idea to make the 82 1/4" like the 2 door cheiftan. Then I scored 2 NOS drv side pieces for less than I paid for the 4 dr set. Pulled some strings and got a trade for an NOS p*** side piece to complete my set. PM me.
Thats what I was going to do until I found the drivers side being sold seperate. Do you remember the rear spear and rear door piece together how long it could have been made?
I think the 4 door is in the area of 54" as I recall. As far as the rear door I have no idea. But I'd bet you'd at least have the extra 21.5 inches to make 75.5.
I didn't remember how long it was since I sold all the extra trim I had to Hambers. One set to Ace Brown, he said it fit the shoebox like it was made for it. The rear door is the same as Chevy also, however long those are?
