You may not find anything exactly in that shape but there are some bulk lengths of generic channels available at Restoration Specialties. You may need to compromise on the bent side shape and just get one with a straight side.

Restoration's channels are what many of us have used and those are generally sold in 6 or 8ft lengths where you will need to cut your own to size and probably have some waste left over. Overall dimensions are obviously important but the chrome vs non chrome edge bead is also to be considered.

Since Steele does not have anything specific about the only other vendor I can think of would be Kanter Auto. At one time they offered complete and partial kits consisting of both rubber and channels for various models and might have something specific to your car. If not Restoration would be your best bet for channels and Steele for rubber.
