Post by: birdy411 on February 08, 2010, 06:53:17 am: I appreciate your response. If you'll research more, you'll find that this type of molding was in fact one of the options available in '73 or '75 through 1980. I believe it was available on Scottsdale and Custom Deluxe models, maybe others.

I'm wondering if anyone sells a reproduction.

thanks.

It was offered in many shapes, sizes and colors. Since that was over 5 years ago, I have forgotten the manufacturer but Im sure you can google and find something.
