I finally got the rear quarter trim for my '64 Fury convert, but they  came  
without clips. After shopping around, I found some at my local  Carquest 
store.  
They are almost a perfect fit. The Carquest number is  8082073.  These are  
manufactured (in China) for the leading  distributor for trim clips (I think 
that 
is M&E). Their numbers are  700-357-B --------04012. There is also a 755  
number.

will  they fit on a 65?
 
 
Well, I don't know, I only tried them on the rear quarter strips for a '64.  
They have rounded corners and the spring tensioner mounts in the middle. They  
are 2 1/2" wide but appear that they could adjust to fit in any molding, with 
 channels down the edges, down to about 1 3/4 wide. It appears they could be  
ground down on the ends to fit a narrower molding. Careful with that one, the 
 mounting stud is centered, grinding the ends unequally could throw the  
mounting stud off center. BTW, the mounting stud is 10-24 by 3/4". They are  
threaded and don't use flanged "self tapping" nuts.
 
I remembered the company which I assumed was the manufacturer. It is  W&E, 
not M&E.  It is shown in their online catalog at page 110,  Item #161. Described 
as being for Chevrolet and Buick. WARNING: my computer is a  "Hemi" at it 
took forever to open the catalog, it is a very large file in Adobe  format.
 
These look like the ones I got from Carquest, but I notice two things.  W&E 
indicates they are 15 to the box, Carquest is 18. Also, the Carquest  catalog 
showed a slightly smaller version, W&E seems to show only a much  smaller 
version. They may not be the same.
 
I checked the Carquest site, but they don't seem to have an online catalog.  
Looking under other, I found: 
     
Automotive Hardware & Hard Parts by R & B Inc.,  Dorman, Help! and Motormite. 
Maybe they aren't W&E. Also said that  Carquest has 3600 stores, I didn't 
know that.
