Quite a while ago I had a wanted ad looking for a full set of Customline trim that runs the full length of the car. Then a friend in Drayton Valley brought me a set of Mainline trim which only covers the back half, so I'm still on the lookout for the front half. I want this for my '48 Chev coupe kustom. I'll explain the significance of this style of trim. Being a bit of a student of car styling and engineering, I like to explore who the people were behind the designs we appreciate so much. One of these designers was Frank Hershey. Frank was lesser known because he worked mostly under well known department managers like Harley Earl, Virgil Exner and George Walker. Frank was responsible for the Silver Streak design of Pontiacs, I believe the sweetheart dips that showed up in Pontiac trim and Cadillac quarters were the work of Harley Earl, Hershey was influenced and when he went to Ford he created the swoopy dipped side trim for the '56 Customline as an answer to the quarter panel dip in the '55 Chevs. So I'd like to have a little bit of Frank Hershey on my car.So a weak and feeble mind with a poor memory asks "one car with two sets of trim" ... hum, and I wonder (but not much) why ?
No, I just like the look of the Parklane/Victoria/Fairlane trim better than the norm.I think I might be sorry I asked, ... what I was trying to find out was why al37ford had two sets of chrome but I might have not understood what he was saying ????
