I Need 1962 Crown Imperial Southampton Clips for Chrome

["Henry Hopkins" <hhrp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try ordering clips from Gary Goers at goers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx     Web site is
www.garygoers.com  I have ordered clips for our 57 Chrysler and I believe
his clips will work on Imperials.  I have other catalogs for clips but not
here at home. Restorations Specialties and Supplies come to mind.  I can
send more later.  As far as number of clips, a couple of dozen or maybe 3
will do it in total, but they will be of different sizes as the side trim
varies in width.  Some require screw type with nuts, others are springlike
and pop into the holes onthe side when you can't get behind to screw on the
nut.   On the front side pieces just in front of the door and where the
front piece abuts the angled piece at the corners, there are screw type
pieces, so don't keep trying to pop off the piece.

A lot of the clips can be re-used or as models for what to purchase.
Catalogs usually have actual size pictures of the types of clips so you can
match the old ones.

Good Luck.
