    Hi,

    as I got my car yesterday I'm now trying to get parts for the restoration.
    Can someone give me hint how this chrome trim is called (see attached photo) and where to get them best, and if their is a different in size for this trim between the Styleline special 2 Door Sedan and the Styleline special sport coupe ?

    Thanks Andy

    Nice looking car! Usually, the upper trim have "T Bolts" and need to be accessed from the inside. Sometimes guys will cheat and use push style fasteners in some areas, however, usually, they end up putting "T Bolts" in to keep them snug. Probably same for the rocker trim.

    I'm not sure about different sizes for different models. Maybe some Chebby guys will chime in. By the way, welcome to the HAMB.

    Are you looking for the trim itself or just the clips that hold it on???? I read your first post as tho you are looking for the trim itself.

    bottom of windows is called beltline trim, i believe all 2 doors are the same. (for the doors)
    the bottom pieces are rocker moldings.
    you can buy these pieces all day everyday on ebay, but a lot of it is dented and bent so be careful unless you know how to fix it.
