The rear chrome strip on my 66 has snaps on it instead of clips.I'm told that the strip with clips is original for the car.My problem is i need a new boot but they all come with clips.Any
suggestions?Also, any thoughts of where the chrome strip on my car came from?

My guess is, Someone added the snaps to your original trim strip.

very common, back in the old days you could order a boot cover from the top shop and they could put the snaps on the trim in a matter of minutes.

It is a good way to go if you are going to use the boot alot. Just isn't stock.
