Does anyone have the original roof trim on their 1957 Firesweep Sportsman 2-door hard top? I think it was called "Deluxe Roof Trim"? I found an old reference from 1957 that had it listed as just "No. 2" roof trim.
I don't know if it was the same roof trim that was also available to the 1957 Firedome (Fireflite too?).
I've collected enough roof trim to come up with a complete set, but I'm unsure about a couple of the pieces being "correct" for my 'Sweep. So any good photos would be helpful if anyone could supply them for me.
I think that Donnie George of Indiana has an original set on his '57 Firesweep (white with dusty orange roof/trim), and I have photos of this great car, but no close-ups of the roof trim. I'm especially interested in the front, where the trim above the windshield meets the side roof trim, above the drip rail.
Thanks in advance!
I wish i could help you but i'm also looking for the same thing but for 59 adventurer,i've heard that mopar mel makes some nice replicas,,
Thanks, Jesus - I was lucky enough to have located two sets of deluxe roof trim since I last posted regarding the subject, both as a result from leads from some very kind DeSoto folks!
Good luck with your search!
