my car looks like it did not come with this trim but I have seen pics with this nice trim that runs from wheel well to wheel well and then from rear wheel well to rear. it appears to be 1.5 inches wide, chrome and in my opinion really sharpens the car up. Anybody ?

 

A '69 Delta 88 Royale (first image below) had a thin strip running about knee-high from behind the front wheel all the way to the back of the car while the standard Delta 88 (third image) had the thicker strip you mention and the Delta 88 Custom (second image) had a trim strip running the full length of the car but at the bottom of the doors and fenders.

Seems like you should be looking for that thinner trim strip if you're looking for originality. Also, I would imagine the mounting holes or whatever are there for the thinner strip while you would have to drill some for the wider strip.

As far as acquiring any of this trim, it's not reproduced as far as I know, so you'll need to find used pieces. Obviously, you would need the trim from a two-door car. Good luck.

Jaunty, thank you-the last pic is the trim I like- the first pic in the ad is what I have,(the pinstriping)-but the chrome pieces in the last pic I would like to add to my car-
I'm sure these pieces are going to be tough to find-any one out there ?


as far as keeping it to spec-sorry throwing that out the window-if I can find these trim pieces they are going on.


I have decided to run hubcaps instead of wheels. Again, stepping out of the box on that too-I found some 76-77 cutlass ones I think will look great. And then stick Cooper Cobras around them. Haven't seen much of those combos...
