Once the '71 Pontiac A-body was ordered as a 235 series LeMans, its standard content gained the alum rocker trim, & on 2 door LeMans Coupes, the bright reveal trim around the top of the Coupe door & around the 1/4 windows.

As one gets to the higher trim content LeMans Sport, the wheel opening moldings (WOM's) are standard content. There seems to be some lack of consistency in the factory installlation of the hood & fender edge bright moldings on '71 LeMans Sport & GTO models, but thats another topic.

On my '71 T-37 HO Coupe, for bright work, it was only ordered with the stainless roof rail moldings, the doors and B pillar are body color (red). Investigating what has transpired with my '72 LeMans Coupe, have found it originally had standard content bright reveal trim on the top of the doors & around the rear 1/4 glass, but had been removed by previous owner. Am probably going to leave it that way, as it renders a more bare bones performance look which fits better with the original build of the car.
Thanks for the info . Another thing that is unusual to me with the bare bones T37 mantra is this car has AC , power brakes and power steering . I have always been into the performance and racing part but enjoy and appreciate the correctness of factory cars .
