Ray B. ◊ 2008-06-08 10:37	Customline alright. The Mainline had no side trim at all.
58Roadmaster ◊ 2008-06-11 03:20	[73B] would be correct, then. My guess was due to the fact that the trim started behind the front (only) doors. I now know an important detail to spot on these cars!

Still I'd say: no side trim or only side trim an the rear part: Mainline; side trim all over the length and downward point at the rear (with or without two-tone): Customline; side trim all over the length and downward point on the front doors: Fairlane. /vehicle.php?id=182013 Mainline 70A -- Last edit: 2008-06-28 04:55:15
