I'm restoring a '66 Malibu 2dr hardtop and I'm having trouble finding (? what I believe was the original?) "smooth type" rocker trim- All the resto catalogs I've used (Paddock, NPD, OPG, bowtie...) only seem to carry the "ribbed SuperSport" style for '66. They do however have a "smooth type" trim listed as '64 & '65 specific- would these fit my '66? I'm sure I've seen many a "non-SuperSport '66" with smooth rocker trims! puzzled in Nort Jersey....

Yes the 65 will fit. It is smooth from the bottom up and has two or three little ribs
at the top. The smooth 64 SS will be a problem as they use end caps. The 64 Malibu will work also be the right length, but am not sure if they are smooth ?

been meaning to make the trip, hear you need
to make lodging reservations months in advance (?), and stay at least a couple a days to see everything...
