Must have been a '70's thing. I have a '70 AMC Rebel SST 2-dr hdtp with a vinyl roof and it has textured trim around the rear window and at the edge of the vinyl on the dutchman.

Maybe a silly question, but wasn't this just a finish on the regular trim. Why not just scuff and spray wrinkle paint? Hard to believe they made "special" trim with a textured finish? It was a stamped finish... Not the regular trim with a coating...71 Road Runner also had it available for its rear window... EDIT: Here's the "unrestored" trim from the listing..

Wow, really? Folks haven't heard of this? It was specific to cars ordered with rear window louvers so the shiny window molding wouldn't show through the louver.
Might've been '70-only, might have continued on to '71.

I've noticed that no one has commentated on the trim for a Dodge Challenger with louvers. I've never heard of or seen a set for a Dodge Challenger or a 71 Charger. but I vagally remember a white textured set on a 71 Charger with vinal top.,not sure if my memorey is correct on that one I've seen black textured rear window molding on both a 71 Charger and 71 GTX with the B Body rear window louvers....never seen white, but it's possible?, IIRC on the 70-71 E body Barracuda/Cuda models it was available in black white, and I believe gold IIRC....Textured trim for the E body is aluminum based (standard is stainless), it's actually a bonded tri metal, aluminum on the back side and face with a copper base sandwiched in the center,.... the grain in embossed on the face surface only, backside is smooth....I've had several sets over the decades (unfortunately I've sold them all), as far as Challenger, I liberated a set of rear window louvers many many years ago off a 70 Challenger/vinyl top equipped out of a salvage yard, the rear window trim was black painted, moldings were stainless, after I stripped the paint off the moldings they were raw finish and never polished....only set I've ever seen.....

" IIRC on the 70-71 E body Barracuda/Cuda models it was available in black white, and I believe gold"
That's probable. The '71 Charger had the textured rear window trim available in black, white, gold and green. I've seen several black sets, only seen one white set on a car, and I've never seen any in gold or green. But then, I can't imagine anyone really ordering rear louvers on a car with a green roof. The roof would have been most likely body color, the louvers were available is assorted matching body colors, or black as a default choice, louvers will also fit on a full vinyl top equipped 71 Charger, I've only seen one to date so equipped, louvers will not fit a 71 full vinyl top equipped Plymouth Sat/RR/GTX due to the trim/belt mld interference of the louver side piece.....
