Is it FB or EK ?

After looking at lots of FB's and EK's I can work out if the chrome trim between the back door and the rear is only for the FB or if it was also on the EK's.
Wagon's all seem to be only on the FB's, however I see half of the EK sedans with it on, and the other half not ?
Was it optional? I assume it was only on the Specials?
Why so many EK sedans shown with it on?

EK with No Trim.

EK with Trim.

Gday Finny
That c pillar trim is standard on all FB Specials.
Of course the EK owners do like to upgrade there plainish versions
with with the more stylish FB Trim

Thanks Thommo, that's what I thought. Either that or a lot of FB's had the front ends changed to look like an EK, and changed the side mouldings.
I like it also, so I'm looking for that trim. So far I haven't seen it advertised anywhere before.

Thought about this a bit more. Why is it that only sedan owners have added it ? and lots of them. Haven't seen one EK wagon with it on....

I'm still looking but nothing so far. Looked at the old Nasco range and the image shows this trim on an EK. Mind you it is only an image not a photo. They obviously liked it also, or there was a Nasco option ?

Thanks Smooth. I saw the interior was an FB.

So does anyone know where to source them, like Al was asking?

hey finny, there's a pair on e-bay at the moment , from memory i think the latest bid was $70. if your not in a hurry you can find them at most swap meets, one of our club members picked one up at sandown swap meet for 5 bucks!
