    Hello Waggon-Friends,

    I've been looking for a set of rear wheel opening moldings for my Pontiac Catalina Safari of 1979 for a few month now and meanwhile I'm really disappointed, that no seller I had contacted for, would help me to find the right moldings.
    Because this parts are not for sale in most stores, please could you tell me, if parts from other Wagons will fit to my? There I think to Chevrolet Caprice Classic 1B, Malibu or Impala, were there already told me, that the Impala-parts wont fit.
    Please feel free to contact me as fast as you can.


    Best regards
    Maik

    Those parts are difficult for us to find in the US as well, with a few exceptions 80's vintage cars don't have a lot of aftermarket support.

    That said, the following list are GM B-body wagons that were sold from 1977-1990 that you could possibly find parts for and would be compatible:
    Buick Estate
    Buick Estate Limited
    Buick Electra Estate
    Buick LeSabre Estate
    Chevrolet Caprice Estate
    Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser
    Pontiac Catalina Safari
    Pontiac Bonneville Safari

    The Impala only came as a sedan. The Malibu was the smaller G-Body at this time.
