IML: 56 Pot Metal Trim Pieces

["tdcox" <tdcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Tom.  I figured the Imperial was too long to utilize the Chrysler
trim, but that is great news.  I agree, it wouldn't be bad to match the
front stainless.  I'll try to find some of the stainless trim pieces.

I think it is a common problem, and I certainly had the same on my 56. 

May I recommend you to find the same piece from a New Yorker, Windsor or
even a DeSoto from 55 or 56, They are the same, only made from stainless
steel. Looks better (after my opinion) as it matches the stainless on the
door.

Emne: IML: 56 Pot Metal Trim Pieces

The trim pieces on the outside of the rear windows of the 2 Dr Southampton
are pot metal and mine are the pits, literally.  These are the pieces
directly on the outside of the rear side windows.  

I have sent them to the chrome plater and he is not able to process them,
which I suspected when I sent them to him due to the deteriorated condition
of the pot metal from years of salt air exposure.

Does anyone have one of these for each side for the 2 Dr?  

I have located someone that can make them in bronze, however, they are quite
expensive.  If I don't find any from a donor car or someone in the club that
has an extra set, does anyone want me to have any additional ones made while
this guy makes my set?  Any other suggestions?

Thank you.

Tom Cox
