Could someone tell me if the 1950 and the 1951 champions use the same 4 piece rear window.Thanks

You're speaking, of course, of the Star Light Coupes. The answer is yes.

Thanks for the info.Where would a guy find a half way decent pair of headlamp rims or trim.?

Yes, in fact, '47 thru '52 Starlights shared the same pieces of glass.

You're gonna have to be more specific when you say "trim".

The chrome trim rim that goes around the headlamp and signal for a 1951 bullet nose champ.Thanks

Well, you SAID headlamp rims OR trim, so I thought you were asking about several different things.
The headlamp bezels ("doors" "rims") will interchange between 51 Champions and Commanders and '50 Champions (not 50 Commanders tho). There's no inside scoop on where you might find some. We have to dig for them like you do. Ebay, a Stude swap meet, contacting various Stude parts vendors that deal in used stuff. Figure the nicer they are, the more you'll pay.
BTW, there were also painted bezels too. Same pot metal piece, only not plated. Good luck!
