Wanted 73 cutlass mouldings
#2
Welcome to the site! There's two styles, the Cutlass S and 442 had more of a fastback look. The Cutlass Supreme had a flatter trunk. Some of the interior parts, such as sail panels are different between the two. I doubt I have the parts you need, but others will need to know which car you have to offer the correct ones.

The Cutlass S and 442 is one style, then the Cutlass Supreme is the other style. If you haven't compared the two I know this may be hard to say, but does it look like a fastback style, with the roof, rear glass, and trunk lid all in one matching slope? Or is it more of a step down from the roof, then glass at a much steeper angle, then trunk flatter.
The black plastic seems to have held up much better than any other colors. All other colors crumble from UV rays or something related to the sun. You may need to go with black then clean/paint with a product designed for plastic.

Nice looking car! That's the Cutlass S style, so you'll need panels that will fit the Cutlass S or 442. But I think there's several years that will work for you. I'm familiar with the sail panel, around that big triangle back seat side window. I know 1973-75 are the same, I don't know if 1976-77 are also the same. Other members will have to speak up and clarify what years will work for you. What other parts do you need?

'73 style of sail panel trim is unique to that year due to the non-retractable shoulder belts vs. '74-'77 retractors. I just pulled some out of a '73 "S". Driver side (both pcs) and the upper passenger side (lower was cracked and damaged). Plastic is brown and a little dry...but, not rotted. May have a lower passenger side laying around. Let me know if interested.
