Just spotted this on Facebook. 1949 (22nd Series) Custom Eight Club Sedan project car in Tennessee. Should give you everything you need to do the Convertible, in case anyone is interested.

Very rare car probably worth doing in its own right.https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/271037495739483/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post[/quote]


That poor car I've seen for sale on and off.. shame it's languishing.

I don't think the belt molding will work between the models. If you look at page 329 of the parts manual series 2255 and 2259 have different numbers. The top of the lids is clearly different between the two, is it close enough at the bottom??

Other thing to consider (per Neal's book) early models of the convertibles switched between the 1" and 1-5/16" moldings, though this happened around #100 off the line. This one is #200.. probably the 1-5/16" but I would check first.
