My 53 didn't have anything like what you're describing, not much help I know. If you have a picture that may help someone recognize what you're referring to. Maybe it's something that was added after production?

That is a finish welting or sometimes called upholstery piping and if you are careful with removal of the molding, the old stuff can be reused although you may need to tape or glue it on the inside of the molding to keep it in place when reinstalling. If it is damaged, new can be found although maybe not in the exact same color and texture as the original. If you cannot find the color needed an upholsterer can male new by sewing fabric or vinyl over a 1/8" plastic core if you buy a length of material in the proper color. That may take a few days though so you would need to plan ahead.
As 53 Cavalier pointed out new is always better but the original color and texture may be hard to find even if you buy material and have it made. Amazon has some possibilities in upholstery piping although the holding flange or tail in the upholstery product is somewhat narrower than the original welting so it may be harder to glue or tape to the molding while installing. Some of the online retail upholstery supply houses may also have something. You could also go to a local upholstery place and see if they could check with one of their wholesale only suppliers who would possibly have a better or different selection..
