FACTORY CORRECT HOOD TRIM TREATMENT FOR C BODYS

[polara10x500]

HARD TO FIND A GOOD PIC. BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT 69 POLARAS AND FURYS HAVE THE STAINLESS HOOD TRIM AT THE BACK EDGE PAINTED BODY COLOR WITH NO TRIM ON BACK EDGE OF FENDERS AND 300'S, NEWPORTS, IMPERIALS,YORKERS, ETC. HAVE STAINLESS ALL THE WAY ACROSS INCLUDING BACK EDGE OF FENDERS. IS THIS THE CORRECT TREATMENT FOR THE POLARAS, MY HOODS EDGE IS SET UP TO HAVE THE MOLDING AND THE FENDERS ARE HEMMED AN PAINT FINISHED. CURIOUS *** HELL ABOUT THIS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW FOR SURE FACTORY CORRECTNESS ON THIS. REGAURDLESS I'M PUTTING A PIECE OF TRIM THERE BECAUSE I CAN'T LEAVE IT BARE. THANKS TO ALL.

All three 69 Polaras I have (or had) had painted trim, on my CHP car it was not stainless, the other two appeared to be stainless.

THANKS ALAN, WAS THE CHP CAR PAINTED TRIM OF SOME KIND OR WAS THE BACK EDGE OF HOOD HEMMED UNDER?

 

[MrMoparCHP]

Yes, it was the same, folded over, rolled edge to catch nubs on the hood

69 Fury and Polara are the same. The trim strip on the back of the hood is painted body color and no trim strip on top rear of fender.
