I should clarify that I would leave the rear fenders devoid of brightwork, but replace the stock 400 door molding with one from the front door of a Deluxe. Granted, coming from a four-door, that molding would be substantially shorter, but I like the tapered end.

I was always mixed about the rear fender treatment on the '55 Seniors. With a single spear, the two tones looks a bit off balance to me. To me, a '55 Patrician looks better in a monochrome scheme.

Yet, '56 looks longer and lower with both speared and ribbed trim running all the way back to the tailight.
