    Hello I was wondering if you experts could help identify what car this moulding belongs to. I am not familiar enough with the wagon to know it looks like it may be 62 trim? I'm not sure when they changed the trim? Thanks a bunch!

    Listed as "ford country squire wagon Fairlane WOOD TRIM FENDER 1/4" not sure if the link will work.

    Checking some images on Google, I am unable to pin it down.
    They are for sure the fender moldings, but could be for 59, 61, 62, maybe even '63....

    You're going to find someone with a very old parts book.

    trim

    Well I'm looking for some 62' trim. I'm not sure what changes they made in 61, 62, and 63 to know which years are compatable.

    I don't think that trim is going anywhere soon......

    Country Squire fender trim.

    OK so a little more research shows that 61, 62, and 63 front fender trim pieces are all different. However the 61 looks like it could be the same as 62, but with the mounting bolts in a different location (below the horizontal ridge to be inline with the center of the narrow trim at the rear. The 62 mounting bolts are centered on the horizontal ridge. I wonder if you could just re-locate the mounting bolts and use the 61 on a 62?

    62 on the left, 61 on the right.

    I might have found a 61 trim piece. Would love it if someone with a 61 could take a few measurements for me???

    Both pieces shown together on the e-bay auction are for a right front fender. One piece looks like its definitely for a 55-56 Country Squire. I think the other piece is for a 59 Country Squire.
    The 61-62 trim has a ridge along the top, while both pieces in the e-bay auction are recesses in the middle at the top.
    Sorry, but I don't think either piece will fit your 62.

    I like these quizes. We should do these more often.

    Trim

    Sorry, I posted that link, then discovered it was for an older squire.

    My question shifted to "will a 61 fender trim work on a 62 car"?

    The 61 and 62 look very similiar other than mounting location.

    Here is a picture of the side tonight with fresh primer and with all the trim. Looks better than faded vinyl.

    Yes, its looking good. Reminds me of an old Aurora Thunderjet HO scale slot car I used to have. It too was a red 62 Country Squire woody (only smaller).
