68 CORONET DOOR TRIM QUESTION

[XMAN JR]

The doors on the 68 coronet i am working on has holes on the top edge. They look like molding holes. The top of the quarters just below the quarter windows do not have any holes. Does the top quarter molding bolt/ clip on different ? The owner doesnt remember. It has been apart for some time. I have been trying to find pictures but all the ones i found do not have that molding on the door or quarter. Thanks

Sounds like you might have doors from a Coronet 440 that had the body line trim, see below.

If there are no trim holes on the quarters or fenders, there was no trim which means the doors you have were from a different car.

what you described sounds correct, the holes in the top of the doors are for the chrome trim and the quarter pieces are held on with screw that go into clips behind the window fuzzys so no there is no holes on top of the quarter panel in that area.

Can you post up a pic of the holes in question?

I'm also interested, trying to find my original pieces after 30yrs and a high school restoration back then
Coronet and charger (in green). The charger pieces are wider. I can't find a photo of a Coronet with the door and quarter pieces and I can only find the quarter pieces in my stuff

I restored a 68 Coronet 500 convertible and I remember those top of door, quarter moldings. Hot as frick in the summer sun when you put your arm up there when cruising though!
