55-56 rear fender side trim


For the lower-cost cars, there were 3 ovals on the spear-shaped body line on the side of the rear fenders:

I am pretty sure that originally these were red inside (the red on mine, shown above, is long gone):

The question is, was that reflective tape? Or some kind of paint? Or what?

If anyone knows, please let me know.

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks for the info! Look like just plain red paint?

And - Nice car! Is your dash two-tone?

Do you have a phoito of your dash? I'd be interested in seeing where the 2-tone line is.

Thanks,
Dave
