75skunkaroo Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 i looked at some of the pics of gen 1 cars and the brochures in the old gallery, and i can't seem to find any others with it. anyway, my question is, is the trim on my wagon(rubber bumper style) stock, a dealer add-on, or something someone rivited on later on. -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 It was a popular add on in those days. If you look at the cars in the brochures, none of them have the trim. I believe it was put on by most dealers when the cars were new, but could have been put on by anyone. I like the trim, it serves it purpose well. My car accumulated only a couple door dings in its 20+ years with the trim on. My .02 Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75skunkaroo Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 actually, i was thinkin about leaving it off if it wasn't stock(after paint), but i kinda like the way it looks, so i guess i'm gonna go ahead and keep it. thanks all -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 and remember, you guys restoring the old ones, if you need the decals for the bottom of the doors like you have, I should be able to do them rather easily..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky_pete Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Ok not to threadjack, but what type of GM B-body car is that in the background of the last pic? I was thinking '70 Chevelle but the grille and bumper look odd. Good luck with the paint on the wagon, should look real good when it's all done.
