Just for clarity, there is no such moulding used on 1971 Imperials. The above mouldings that @ayilar has displayed from Hiltop are for a Chrysler Newport, Newport Custom and New Yorker (C1, C2 and C3 respectively). The confusion comes from the part description in the parts catalog calling it out for C1, C2 and CP models but there is no such thing as a CP model and so Hiltop probably assumed incorrectly that that must mean Imperial, but that model is always called a model Y, not a C3. Also note that the CS models are the 1971 Chrysler 300 model and that model uses its own end mouldings only applicable for that model.

I bought the car in Oct, shortly after it came on. FB must just keep on running the ad and counting the time regardless if sold or not.

small 383-2 vs big 440/375hp, both cruise nice, just a side note, The Newport was built 1/26/71 and must have sat on the lot till 7/30/71 when it was purchased

To find the part for CE23L1F167996 -- first start with the P/N. You can find it in the parts manual. Good luck!

I think I have that straight trim piece. Do you still need? Can you buy off eBay? If so I will make you a cheap buy it now listing. But I will need to dig thru my parts and find it.

 

[GOLDMYN]

I was able to buy the end piece but I still need the lower half drivers-side, yes, I can buy ebay invoice

 

[challenger340]

Ok, I will try and find today and make a listing.

I have 3 of these parts, so maybe you can look at the pics and look at your car and help me figure which part is correct. Is your part aluminum or stainless steel. These pics are from a stainless steel part that is 26 1/4 inches long. Please look at each end and see if it looks correct. I guess these are side specific. This is the first one to look at. This one I believe just pushed on the lip, and has no clips.

I had my wife (who knows nothing about cars) and she agrees with me, the ends are different, my length is 26 3/8

I posted some pics of the other part I have that is aluminum, is your part aluminum . See my other reply

 

[GOLDMYN]

that looks more like it

 

[challenger340]

I am thinking the one aluminum one I have might be passenger?. And it looks to have some flaws, not perfectly straight and some dents. I will clean it Tuesday. And look at condition better. can check junkyard next trip and see if the drivers side might still be on the car.

ok
