When I first got my Spohn Palos home and got to digging into it and learning how it was built, I removed the interior door panels to find that original outside beltline level trim had been removed and the holes body soldered closed two paint jobs back. They were found the length of the car. But I had no trim - what to do?
Fellow owner Jim Scammell in Australia sent me photos of his car's original aluminum trim and dimensions. Nothing metal matched. However I found some chromed vinyl trim from Flex Chrome with the same profile and very close dimensions.
Today the trim got applied in anticipation of the Peteresen Museum display through 2013. Does a ton of good for the looks of the car! Don't you think?
