lark convertible chrome trim ID please

[mbstude]

I found these in my pile of trim. I can ID almost any piece of stainless but I'm not so good with chrome. I am pretty sure that these are rear quarter beltline mouldings for a convertible. They aren't broken or cracked but the chrome has some light pitting. Can anyone tell me what year they're for? And maybe a guess on the value? They certainly don't fit a station wagon.

Thanks

looks like what on our 60 ragtop, no idea what they are worth though.

Just guessing, but I'd be willing to bet those are the upper beltline, rear quarter pieces for a '61 Convertible. They're different from the 59-60 hardtop and convertible ones.

Yes looks like conv. They appear to have the tabs to join the wrap around stainless. Yes,seems to have the dip of a '61. No chance it's for a '58 HT ??

Certainly possible. I have no idea. There are no casting numbers on the backsides, either.

That would be my guess too. Look like the ones I had when I was doing my '61 convertible. They are very hard to find.

Here's a slightly better pic if it would help confirm it. I'll have them at York. Any ideas of what to ask for them?

It looks like a door and quarter moulding.[not 62-64 conv.] Does the quater moulding have the holes for the snaps for the boot?

They're both a left and right quarter moulding. No snaps, so maybe not convertible at all? '58 hardtop it may be then.

Almost positive, but not 100%. Looks like a 58 HT and 61 HT quarter window piece. Definitely not convertible. I believe the 58 HT and 61 HT used the same part.

I take it back. I found a picture of a '61 convertible moulding I sold in 2004 on eBay. It had holes for the snaps that hold the boot. See picture below. Too bad, the right side one, NOS, brought $173.50.

I don't have any measurements right now, but here's a '58 pic. Looks pretty close to your piece.

[mbstude]

That's it! 58 hardtop it is. Thanks fellas.

[studefan]

and a 61 HT Matt.

I would say $250 for the pair or $150 by the piece. If you don't get that at York, put them on e-bay.
