FordRodnKustom Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I've been working on this Modelhaus conversion for the Revell Ranchero kit. It's getting time to start thinking about paint and trim but while doing some research on these things I'm a little confused about the trim. It seems that some of them have the pillars around the windows done in the oak like trim and some don't as illustrated below. I can't seem to find any info on this. Anyone know what the story is and what is correct? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rust-n-dust Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I restored a 1/1 1957 Squire a few years ago, and yes, they came with the light Oak color around the windows as shown in the brochure. The Oak matches the lower rails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordRodnKustom Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) I restored a 1/1 1957 Squire a few years ago, and yes, they came with the light Oak color around the windows as shown in the brochure. The Oak matches the lower railsOK that's about what I thought. So then would the ones without (pics above) be considered incorrect restorations? Thanks.

rust-n-dust Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Pretty much....from 1952 -1958 all Squires used the faux wood around the window areas...in fact, if you look close you'll notice there is a stainless steel trim strip to divide the areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyRed Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Dave is correct. I found this description of the '57 Ford Country Squire trim at http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1950-1959-ford-country-squire7.htm A modified version of the 1955-56 Country Squire's fiberglass framing was employed, but the wood-toned Di-Noc shed the horizontal plank look. Side-window frames and the upper tailgate continued to copy the look of wood grain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
