First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Stu,
Thanks for the reply. That's what I thought/knew. But they are so exactly the same from car to car that it seems the moldings were probably applied (mostly) by the dealer. But the question is, does anyone know how to get the moldings off? (I really don't like the way they look.)

It's all aftermarket stuff. It was a very popular thing in the 60's and 70's to add them. Some dealers even installed them on new cars.

Hi listers, As I look for the "perfect" 68 for the daily driver, I keep coming across cars with door molding on the crease. Two of the three I have owned have had it and several I see that are supposed to be original paint have it. I've never seen in any literature that Pontiac did that, so I am guessing that it is a dealer applied thing. Anyone know for sure? Also, anyone know how to remove it without tearing off the paint (I removed it from both the cars of mine that had it, but that was on the way to new paint and it really ripped off the paint underneath-of course I just grabbed and pulled!).
