I'm trying to figure out how much difference there is in the rocker moldings on the 1968 Grande Parisienne between skirted cars and non skirted cars. I've been told that there is an inch difference, but unfortunately, because I don't have any moldings, I don't know what length I need (if there is two). Can I get a couple of measurements from someone that has the 68 Grande Parisienne and then tell me whether or not the car has skirts???? Thanks......Doug.
I did have some measurements, but have lost the info and can't recall what it came off of, I need to get some bought from another member, but have to make sure they will fit .........thanks a million.

Doug, I know you've been chasing this for a while now. However, if I recall someone's comments correctly, the length didn't have anything to do with fender skirts, it had to do with whether wheel opening moldings were utilized. To tell you the truth, I don't see how either would effect the length of the rocker moldings.

Hi Clint, thanks for the post. I'm having a nightmare with this. I've got all kinds of PM's all mixed together and have to go back and review each one to try and figure out who said what, lol........all I'm getting is more confused, lol. I have to get myself organized here, cause the car is being painted in the next few days and will be getting ready for finishing really quick.

Here's a good shot of the car. I'd agree with Clint, does not look like it matters.
