65 Catalina tail lamp bezels wanted.
Looking for a good pair of 65 tailamp bezels. Some pitting is fine.
Also looking for a better trim panel between the lamps. Desperate to replace all the exterior die cast on this car as it's all severely pitted. Can be from a USA or CDN car as they both same the same parts. Any replies are greatly appreciated, Thanks, Mark from Canada, |

Please disregard the center trim panel request.

I have NOS lenses, no bezels. Just sold a pair of NOS headlamp bezels though.

Thanks for the reply, I have the NOS lenses as well. Seems they are easy to come by. The trim...not so much.
Pretty much have to pick off a yard car. |

I'll keep looking through my collection maybe I have something I forgot I had. I inventory parts until the end of February so I might have something burried.

I thought the rear trim was one solid piece?

Looks like it says Laurentian on the quarter therefore it is a Canadian Pontiac that is 1/2 Chevy. You can also see in the pic that the rear trim is 3 piece.

I guess I'm not likely to find any trim here then?
But at least I've learned the trim is different between the two. I'm to assume the rear trunk body section is probably different too. Still, seems strange they would have went to the trouble to cast different trim for the Canadian Pontiac. |

I could not tell you if the sheetmetal is different. I know the frame is different because a Canadian Pontiac is not the famed "Wide Track". Canadian Pontiacs are on a Chevy frame.

It's the subtle trim things between the two that can be confusing. The car is basically a reskinned Bel Air 2 door Sedan. From the cowl down and back across the floorpan its Chevrolet. I'm learning as I go along, and it's quite interesting.
Here's a shot of the tail panel from a members 65, Out of curiosity, I'd like to remove my trim and see how the stamping compares to the USA car. cheers, |

I know that one of our members from Germany has a catalina tail panel on his perisienne so I know it can be interchanged. Not sure if any work was done to do the swap of if it was simply plug and play.
