Trunk Lid

[Fitysix]

Gentlemen and Ladies.....
I need help with finding the two chrome strips running down the trunk lid on a 56' Roadie. The left side is good but, the right side id broken. Any after market parts ( i have not been able to find any) or perhaps someone on the board has this piece?
Much love and peace to all
TIA

If you find a pile of them -- I've been looking (althought not very hard ) too.

I tried the folks over at Wheatbelt Antique Auto (http://www.wheatbeltbuick.com/) and they didn't have anything.

I found NOS and used at Collectors Auto Supply (http://collectorsautosupply.com/). Part Number for the NOS is 1170219 and price was $205.50. Used part number was 1170219U and the price was $121. Never purchased anything from them so I can't provide a recommendation other than saying I found them on the WEB. Their WEB site says they have 22, but then they have 22 of lots of things so I'm not sure they have it or not.

That was about all the looking I did. I haven't noticed any on Ebay.

Mine look OK from a distance, one of the previous owners used two broken pieces to create one complete peice by overlaying the two and grinding one to fit flush on top of the second one. Looks like it has a crack until you do real close inspection and see it is two pieces.

Good luck.
