I have a '68 Vista parts car, not sure if it would be the same but here is a photo. You decide...

Yeah, I looked closer at my '72 and saw that there is no stainless peice along the back where the bumper line meets the reat quarter panel. Probably more differences as well.

OK, I'll dig through my parts and see what I can come up with. Over the years I know I've dismantled a couple rusty 70-72 Vista Cruisers. I'll see if I can locate the wheel well trim you need.

Sorry, so far I'm striking out. I was hoping the wheel well trim was in the rafters with the other Visa Cruiser trim but it wasn't. I've got a stack of trim that I thought was all for the 2 door cars. But I may have mixed the Vista Cruiser parts in there. In case anyone else is looking for you I looked it up and found this trim piece is the same for the Vista Cruiser and Cutlass flat top wagons, 70-72. Part number 8702501 for the RH and 8702502 for the LH side.

Not to hi-jack this thread, but John, I could use the LH rear wheel opening trim and both pieces of the LH rear upper trim for my '71 VC if you come across any.

Do the VCs and the Custom Cruisers have the same trim? If so I might have what you are looking for. Can you PM me exactly what you two are looking for...

I do have some vista cruiser rear wheel wheel pieces in stock. And I did acquire a driver's side rear today. I don't know if the other side is driver or passenger but I can check shortly. Call me? 317-727-7041

Scott has more pictures on FB. The car was equipped with power windows so an interesting mix of options.
