That is going to be a tough one to find.  Could one be modified from a sedan molding?  Maybe even from a different make of car?

Convertibles and hardtops alike; sedan and Vagabonds totally different with the "typical" wrap-around type painted garnish molding. I have reason to believe at least "some" exist, but folks will not cut them loose from supposedly restorable cars that will probably sit and rust into the ground or end up at a crusher. I gave up on the four outside moldings and will fill holes, redrill others to use moldings from a Vagabond. IF you can find them, you know they are extremely pricey and only sold in pairs.

Well, it's fabrication time. Going to use the garnish molding from a '51 Vagabond...cut it, shape it, mod it, and chrome it. Appears to be the only way to go.

Refreshing. No find yet. Right front inside chrome window molding for the '51 Frazer hardtop or convertbile. Outside pieces could also be used, but inside most needed.
