Digging through the trunk today. Seems there's some trim pieces that's not from this car. Among them, this interior door trim. Google suggests they are from at least a Caribbean. All four pieces appear straight. Barbs on the back of top pieces are mostly rusted off. I cleaned a small area. See pic. Cleans up nice.
Let me know if any interest. Cheers. Attach file:  DrTrim1.jpg (83.95 KB) DrTrim2.jpg (75.13 KB) DrTrim3.jpg (94.80 KB) DrTrim4.jpg (78.98 KB)

Thanks BH. You do like your 56's.
Dug these out as well. So far, everything out of this car has been Packard related. Don't recognize these unless they are rocker trim, or from a different model. Again, let me know if any interest. Cheers.

Looks like rocker molding.
Formed curved end to front fender. Square cut end receives die cast piece that transitions to fender skirt bottom trim.

The passenger side exterior trim is worth a fair price. Driver side not as much.

'55 400. Needs aesthetic parts put back on, and electrical system sorted.
'55 Clipper Deluxe. Engine is stuck-ish. |

Are the rocker trims in good condition and do they have the attaching clips?

Passenger side in very good shape, with just the one ding, right at the very front. Passenger has some soft bends to it. Considering how much dirtier it is, and how much more deteriorated the clips are, I'd say as the car sunk, the ground literally pushed it off the car, tweaking it in the process. I suppose with patience, it could be straightened. There's 10 to 12 clips in more or less the same condition as in the pic. Cheers.

Stopped in today. Owner was happy to let me take a few pics. Although I would of loved to hear it's been in the family since it was new, but no. They bought it off ebay about 6 years ago. They use it in parades, trick or trunk gatherings, and occasionally, a funeral. Cheers.

I can't tell from the photos. Is it a side-loader, end-loader or combination? If it's a side loader, there is no partition behind the driver compartment while if one of the others, it probably does have one. Incidentally, it has a 1951 grille.

No Partition, and the side door is huge. So I'd say a combo. Has the rolling rack in back. Beautiful dash and steering wheel. Interesting having a 51 grill. It's titled as a 52.
