Today I learned.  The upper trim on gold insert Victoria 500 seems to be different from the regular gold insert side trim. 

See pics.  My wagon with the gold top spear has a second rib molded into it.


But on 500 door trim. It's a similar silhouette as the bottom trim. 
So I guess I need two replacement upper from fender trims. 
You can see where the door lock lands on my 500 trim. 

I have to check the 500 club coupe o parts out.  That one only had a messed up passenger side.

So you need both sides of upper fender trim for a Fairlane 500?

Yeah I guess, IM going to hold out a bit to see what I find.

This can also serve as a notice to people thinking the front upper moldings are the same on all models with the gold insert, new learnings.

I'm also looking for a second set of 2 doors upper fin, qtr panel trims, the very long ones. might asss well start a wanted ad.
