There are different sizes based on the height of the stainless trim. You would just need to measure yours.

The same part number clips were used on both moldings in various areas so will probably be OK. In addition to Kev's suggestion of measuring to be sure, Packard used various clip styles depending on whether the rear side was accessible and whether the chrome was prone to slip.
Most all of the pieces somewhere will have at least one or two clips with a stud and nut to tighten down and prevent the chrome from moving. If you have nothing but spring types, slamming a door or getting a piece caught on something can cause it to move.

Yes, Howard, I'm aware of the use of a combination of clips and studs. Usually, there will be a nut on the end, or in some cases both ends if they are accessible. You can tell by the size of the holes- the smaller ones are for the studs.
The height of the lower molding and the belt molding are the same, so I was guessing the clips used would be the same for both also. I was just asking to see if anyone had first hand experience with these.

The parts book should help with identifing type and number required. I sell moulding clips for 3/4 or 1" mouldings. 50 for $25.00 plus $6.00 shipping. PM if interested.

The clips for the belt mouldings on the doors are different.
The part that extends through the hole in the panel is much shorter - less than 1/2" compared to about 7/8" for the other ones.

On my '54, the square holes are for the spring clips, and the round holes are for the post/nut clips.
