Product Description

This fits 1950 Buick Roadmaster (Series 70), and is the molding behind the wheel well and in front of the front door, about 1/2 way down the side of the car.

I listed a number of moldings this week, some still having their protective coating/wrapper on them, some with it partially there, and some with no coating/wrapper. Any time the coating/wrapper is absent, there is a chance that the surface of the molding will get scratched/scuffed, since these were obsolete parts as far as the dealerships were concerned, and careful handling was NOT a top priority. Usually, I would classify any deficiencies as more of a light scuffing, rather than a real abrasion, but occasionally, there will be a heavier scratch. Even if the coating/wrapper is still fully intact, you might still want to polish the molding, just for the brightness factor, if not to get minute scuffing out. Please take this into account, since NOS simply means NEW, and does not mean PERFECT.

Also, looking at bare stainless moldings, without a professional grade studio and studio lighting, poor lighting always makes stainless chrome moldings look kind of odd/discolored/washed out, "rusty", etc, since having to use a flash is certainly not the recommended way to go. Add some quirks of digital photography in, and you get pictures that never represent how nice a molding looks. I can assure you that any coloring you think you see on bare stainless in my pictures that looks odd simply does not exist - it's all in the picture/photography.

I have lots more NOS, restored (professionally) and good used Buick stainless moldings - hundreds available (I've been stockpiling them since 1972, after all). I just listed a few moldings this week that were relatively easy to pack and not terribly expensive to ship. Longer moldings are not as easy to deal with, and nowadays the shipping price can scare the pants off anyone. If you do need a different molding for your car, email me. One thing, though, is that you HAVE to be patient, since I only have a partial list of the ones available (about 25% of all the ones I have) which I can easily check, and most of these moldings are stashed in a warehouse that is not accessible to me every day. It will take probably 2 weeks at the soonest before I can get there and check to see if I have one you want, should my written list come up empty, and should my memory of what's in the warehouse fail. If you need it sooner than that, you'll want to look elsewhere.

On this particular molding, I can guarantee that this is 100% correct for 1950 Buick Roadmaster, unlike some other sellers on eBay who are not entirely sure what molding they have, and get the 1946-1948, 1949 and 1950 moldings mixed up. While all three of the Roadmaster moldings for these years are pretty much the same length, they are easy to tell apart, if you have the experience to do so, and are dealing with OEM GM moldings, not aftermarket ones. I'd be happy to explain these differences if you email me.
