I have been told by someone that the rocker trim on mine are actually Malibu or Chevelle parts. Then again, at a car show last summer while I was walking around, my wife was told by a self professed expert that my Beaumont was not a true Sport Deluxe. Something to do with trim. That expert obviously didnt know that the Sport Option was available with engine options ranging from the 230 cu in six up to the 396. Mine, being a factory six, doesnt have the V8 symbol on the front fender. I assume that is the trim he was referring to.

Maybe I will throw on a picture of mine just to see what you guys think.

Point is, nobody will call you out on non stock trim. And of the few that actually know what a Beaumont is, we dont necessarily know the difference between factory correct and a tastefully crafted replacement. Go for it!

Thanks for the photo's and the feedback gents. The beauty is that although I was only able to recover 4 of the 6 on the Caddy, they do have some length to them LOL. (I also removed the taillights as they themselves are almost a piece of art.)
Hoping someone might still be able to post a close up shot of profile/shape of the trim.
thx again.

Ahhh, good point. I'm guessing that those might be hard to come by as well but I'll keep my eyes open.
thx

 

Here's a pic of the trim on my 66 SD....not sure if it is original or not

My car got hit in the door somewhere along the way, back in 70's-80's and the driver side door molding is shorter and the one behind door is missing the tab, I assume they changed the design on these after 66.

 the 67 moldings have 2 different lengths on the door ones
