Seals are on doors and trunk lid.  Hood has a seal at rear edge which is on body.

Roger a couple of shots of the seals on my Edsel, exactly the same as your 500.

Bill...........1st pic:first time I ever noticed, or saw,  a door seal in that position. Are the Fairlane 2 dr htp a different location than the Customs? On my Custom, the door seal runs to the outer corner (so that it is over the door lock clip.)
Roger..........that cowl "seal" Bill is showing runs under/is held in place by the front lip of the vent panel. I think it is more of an anti-rattler/anti vibration for the hood than a seal.

cowl seal is to keep oil off the windshield
