1934 Plymouth model PE coupe - 11/22/16 11:45 PM

Hi All,

I am in need of all the interior window garnish moldings for my '34 Plymouth coupe. Either original or after market will do. Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Joe Medallion

greetings to the board ! as an owner of a 33 dodge "hump back" delivery truck, i can tell you the quest for those moldings may be a tough one. as far as i know, these are not reproduced. you may try over on the "street rodder" forum. if none can be found, you might need to try out your fabrication skills.

joe, is your car a stock height top ? if it is, one thought might be to try to adapt fiberglass moldings from a 33-34 ford coupe. [or maybe a 2dr. sedan.] measurements will be needed for all to get a guess as to which may be the best candidate of choice for this to be able to be pulled off. i know they are not the same, but being fiberglass, they can be easily modified by anyone with no metal fab or welding experience. and if a mistake is made, a little more resin and 'glass is all that's required to fix a goof. the only concern for me before starting down this road would be to find a good, clear pic of the moldings you need that would be big enough to blow up to show the detail, then obtain just one glass ford molding to see if it may be possible to transform into something usable. if it looks like it may be possible, go for it [or your body man if he thinks it may be feasible]. if not, just return it to the vendor for your bucks back. dodge coupes may be close, and there is at least one body manufacturer of glass bodies for those. i know they are available because member crizila just finished up a beautiful example of one. maybe he will chime in with the manufacturer info. those moldings would be closer to shape than the ford moldings. just a couple of ways to attack the problem at hand as i would approach it.

I found 34 ply 2 dr sedan door moldings and cut the 3/4 inch difference in height out, and tigged the pieces together and they fit my PE coupe fine.

that is another good solution. i didn't realize there was a height difference between the coupe and sedan. of course, i never had occasion to do so. thanks for this info! now, if i can only retain this for future reference !

and another solution - what I did. "Auto Plastics, inc." Item # HR047C. - until I can find someone that can make me window molding out of stainless.
