  Just wondering if anyone knows if the interior door trim strips on the 38 fords, both standard and deluxe are being reproduced. Redoing a standard coupe and each door had 2 strips 22 and 3/8 inches long. Contacted LeBaron Bonney and they don't. Thanks

  If LB doesn't have them I suspect that they are not reproduced. Those trim strips were a dark brown in color.I'm not sure of the width of these strips, but you might look at the hood trim strips on the 35-36 hood sides. If they are close to the correct width and length you could paint them dark brown and use them. They are reproduced.
You might also roam your local salvage yard and look at the interior trim pieces on a later model car.You may find something that will work.

  Thanks, the strips are 1/4 inch wide and made of metal (magnet sticks) and were painter dark brown. I'm sure most were discarded when the original interiors got scr*pped and I may have to duplicate somehow. Thanks for the advise
