Hi, does anyone know of a source to find the chrome trim that sits below the window line? I’m not sure what it is called. I’m after the trim for a 1950 2dr coupe. Thanks

It's referred to as "Belt Line Trim". Easily found on Ebay.

To be technically correct, this is not chrome, but polished stainless steel. eBay as eplantage pointed out or, from a wrecking yard. To my knowledge, it is not being reproduced.

Thanks for the suggestions and the help with what it’s called, unfortunately I’m not in the USA so eBay may be my only option. So far I’ve only been able to find 4dr trim.

Just be aware also that the trim from a Belair, Convertible or Sedan Delivery is different, even though those are 2-Door models. Only Coupe, 2-Door Sedan or 2-Door Fleetline will work.

The Master Parts Manual lists it this way:

12.112 MOULDING, Front Door Belt
1949-1952 Jobs 1007-11-27-1207-11-27-27B ....(1-1/8 wide x 41-7/8 long) Left = 4561290, Right = 4561291.
The Convertible and Belair are the same length, but the shape at the rear is different and the Sedan Delivery is 36-1/16 in length (same length as the front door on the 4-Door, but again, the shape of the end is different).

1007 = Fleetline DeLuxe 2-Door
1011 = Styleine DeLuxe 2_door Sedan
1027 = Styleine DeLuxe Sport Coupe
1207 = Fleetline Special 2-Door
1211 = Syleline -Special 2-Door Sedan
1227 = Styleine Special Sport Coupe
1227B = Styleline Special Business Coupe

I believe that the trim below the windshield is the same for all models. This is installed under the wiper transmissions.

That is correct. Again the Master Parts Catalog entry:

10.093 MOULDING ASSEMBLY, Windshield Reveal
1949-52 PASS......lower, Left = 4562379, Right = 4563588

Simply "PASS" without regard to model. Of course the moulding from the door to below the rear window is also peculiar to the coupe models.

Are the rear window belt line trims the same across the vehicles 4dr and 2dr?
