Or does anyone have any leads on where I might find it. Are there other options I have not thought of yet? Thanks Steve

Is the top trim the same for a 32 as a 31? If so I can dig up a phone number for the place that I bought the trim for my 31. Sal Orlando Chat Group Region Member

However, you might want to contact Bob's Automobilia in California since they make the earlier roof crown moulding. The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

I don't know if it is the correct type crown moulding or the material is correct.

The original roof crown moulding was metal with a "half round" configuration when viewed as a cross-section. The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

They sell it as a kit, nails included. Chat Group Chapter Member Current rides; 1968 Camaro rs/SS 350 4spd 2000 Blazer LT 2005 Malibu Maxx 2007 Acura TDX Last total restoration; 1932 Sport Coupe

I bought mine from Bobs and it was identcal to what I took off of my 31 coupe. I took a peice of the old molding with me to compare the profile. Price was at the time $2.95 per foot.
