Nice job Steve, those are tough to get off clean.

If you're giving it away I'll take it

I will be looking for this in the near future due to mine are fiberglass. It is for a 1970 Rallye 350. PM me for the info please

Those are called B85 moldings. They will fit either the 70-72 post or Holiday fastback coupes. What I'm not seeing in those pics is the mounting brackets though.

StickW31

What mounting brackets are you referring to?

Rocketbrian

Actually, the post moldings are different than the hardtop moldings. I had looked into this, as I was, and am still looking for a mint set for my 71 442. The post belt moldings have a notch made into them due to the stainless door window trim which intersects with the belt molding. I also looked in the parts book and they have different part numbers. I am always amazed at the variations and combinations GM had back then, with so many different parts, and they still made scads of money.
You can see the notches in Steve's pictures.

Allan R

The trim is anodized aluminum not stainless and it has to be mounted to the body with special clips. The window fuzzies are not what holds it in place. Needs a special mount IIRC. I used to have a pic of it, but can't find it in my files right now.

Right you are. I'll retract my comment about fitting the hardtop since the notches would stand out there. Good eye Brian!

Finding these parts is a real pain isn't it? Mine will need some light dent removal and then need to be sent for re-anodizing. I saw Kevin's car with these last July and he went with the 'brushed' aluminum look on his. I like it better with a smooth bright surface better. If see any of the ones for an 87 series car, I'll let you know. The long pieces can come from either Supreme or Cutlass HT though.

Thanks, Allan. If you look on Kijiji in Ontario there is a 72 Cutlass S for sale for $1700.00 and it has the belt mouldings. Now if only he would part it out. I did read somewhere that if you wanted roof drip moldings, on a Cutlass S without a vinyl top, it was a requirement that you take the B85 belt mouldings. That may only be a 72 deal, I don't know. On a 442, in 71 anyway, a roof drip moulding was standard even without a vinyl top although no belt mouldings. I was at the Nationals in Iowa and there were several cars there with the belt mouldings. In particular there was a 70 Rallye 350 with highly polished belt mouldings which looked fabulous. As you stated, it's fairly easy to locate the door mouldings, as they could be taken from any Supreme. Now, try to locate the back curved ones in decent shape, that is a feat. I have a lead on two NOS ones, but they're both for the left side only, just my luck. I think they add so much to the car especially with a vinyl top.

No "special mounts" required unless you include phillips head screws in that category.

You are probably thinking of the quarter glass "B" pillar alum piece on a post coupe car....those are held on with a couple clips.

Allan R

Brian, you got me confused here. I have some OEM roof drip moldings that I need to polish. I know they're stainless. Planning to put a black vinyl roof on my car. Are you suggesting that the B85 will not fit in with that theme? I always thought it would because the sail panel vinyl trim shouldn't interfere with the presence of B85?

Patton, maybe so. I remember getting an email from a fellow once showing some sort of mount that supports the molding from touching the paint. You're saying there isn't any such animal on a HT? My B85 doesn't have any fuzzies on it. I understand that I can't just attach the fuzzies with the rounded bead to the B85 and make it work - I need the special fuzzies. Is that correct?

My442

Wrong.

The B85 on hardtops is different than on post coupes.

My 70 hardtop has B85 moldings, and they are different than the ones pictures.

My442

And, the parts are not stainless.

They are anodized aluminum.

Allan R

Uh huh, I already retracted my statement if you'd bothered to read further - see below...and I stated the B85 was anodized aluminum too. My last reference to stainless was for the rail drip moldings if you want to go back and re read that one too?

StickW31

So........ Is anybody going to buy these????
LOL

No, not at all. I want to do the same thing with my 442, as it has a vinyl top. I was mearly saying in 71 a 442 came with a roof drip moulding without a vinyl top, while I think I read somewhere, in 72 if you wanted a roof drip moulding (B80) they made you take the belt line mouldings (B85) as well. In all years, 70 -72 if you ordered a vinyl top, you also got a roof drip moulding. Confused?, I think I am.
I think the belt line mouldings completes the chrome look with the roof drip moulding and the vinyl top sail panel chrome as you have stated.

Allan R

I sure hope someone has a use for them. Sorry about the side issues, but at least its keeping the thread active. I'm going to send someone I know with a post coupe an email and see if they're interested. I'll tell him to get in touch with you on the site if he wants them, ok?

Brian. Now I understand what you were saying.

[QUOTE=Rocketbrian;495272]I would think that the fisher cowl tag should be marked "B85" if it had the option.

Steve---free bump---

StickW31

Yea that fine Allen. Thanks


Thanks for the W31 bump Joe!!!!

All of the cars that I own or owned,that came with the B85 moldings,had B85 stamped on the cowl tag.
