I purchased my 36 in avatar in 1973 & are second owner, it did not have the "Pines Trim" the next year I brought a Hot Rod mag & it had a pic of 36 with "Pines Trim" I instantly fell in love with it (still have the Hot Rod mag also) It took me many more years of looking before I found a set for sale here in the US , although it was in great shape & re-chromed it did not come with mounting brackets or the even harder to find "Pines Trim Bullnose" . I made my own mounting clips but have not drilled any additional holes . I then purchased a Bob Drake aluminum bullnose & modified it to work. I have since found the very rare correct bullnose.that goes with the trim.
We are all different (thank goodness) & have different tastes, some like standards some like Deluxe , some like over restored some like original . Me I like em all & I love period correct & dealer installed accessories. I am really glad so many people dont like The 36 "Pines Trim" other wise I may never have found it!! I wiil say that it sure attracts way more people when I take it any place than if I take my boss's beatifull 40 coupe.
Now the hood trim in question is not "Pines" but is called "Fulton Feather Hood Trim" I have a nice set of this also .
The wind wings in the door windows as previously stated were made by many including Fulton & yes I have some of them also along with many other accessories.
Not sure of the Pines trim value but I sure would like another set for my coupe.
Great thread!!!
Cheers
