Is there anyone out there that can lead towards 1966 quarter panel, door and fender trim for 1966 Cutlass 442. Can these items be purchased new? I thought if google can't find them, then they are not out there. I am in the middle of a major build. I have had the entire car blasted and they only found a bit of rust on the front fenders. this car is tight and deserves new exterior trim. I've had it acid washed and now they are finishing up the panels for paint. Please, someone tell me where to get quarter panel, door and fender trim.

Which side quarter panel do you need? I know of a 66 NOS quarter panel.

Larry,
I am looking for new trim. If that is not possible the I need to match the front passenger side which has the amber reflector in the trim. On my car the rear quarter-panel have the red reflectors built in the trim.
Am I supposed to send this trim I have out and have it cleaned up? It is not that bad, I just wanted the shine back on the trim. I am new at this restoration game but had some really good bones to start out with.

I am missing the drivers side lower fender trim. I have enclosed 2 photos of the other front fended to see if an person out there can say if they have ever seen this trim? I have also included a photo of the rear quarter panel trim hoping this may jar a memory or two.
Like I said I am in need of the matching drivers side trim.

Oldsmobile Division did not install those reflectors on that side trim.

Side marker lamps or reflectors were not federally required or factory installed until 1968 model year.

I am looking out to see where these came from that are on my '66. They fit like a glove. Almost like they belong there but I have looked through 500-600 photos and have found nothing like these. The guy that owned this car is passed away now so I will keep looking.

From the looks of your car, it looks like 67 trim on a 66 Cutlass with 66 442 front fenders a 66 Cutlass hood, 66 Cutlass grill inset with a 442 emblem and 66 Cutlass tail lights.
A mish-mash if you will. Don't get me wrong, it looks good but...

On a 2nd look, that's not 67 trim. I'm not sure what's going on there. Most of it looks 66, but those side markers are throwing me off.

I bought it as you see it. It has been through the blaster and has all metal work complete. The vehicle is ready for paint. Which way do I go? I either can change the trim or find one piece. Its not a 4-4-2, The old guy that owned the vehicle when off his rocker and put all those 4-4-2 emblems on. I was not having them put back on. I kind of like the red and amber trim if I could find the one left side amber front lower fender trim to match. Without the 4-4-2 emblem on the fenders do they look like '66 fenders? I just finished all the metal work on those fenders.

The louvers in the front fenders are 66 442 units. The cutlass fenders are smooth. I think the emblem on the back deck lid would say Cutlass
and on the rear fenders, there was nothing. I think on the rear pillars was a C/S emblem on each side. You could probably google pics of 66 Cutlass
and get all the pics you need. I think the old man may have fabricated those side markers into 66 trim. Any clos-ups of those front and rear?

'66 trims

You might find out who got all the free '66 stuff that was offered up by the Tyler TX individual. Bee Saint Louis? Appeared a near complete set of trims were in the pictures that were posted.

Here is what I have for photos before it went out for paint. That yellow had to go so I stripped it down to the metal to locate any and all fiberglass.

The old man has been dead since before I found the car. How do I find Bee St Louis or the person in Tyler Tx?
