1965rivgs Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The `67 Salesman`s manual states the `67 Riv has a "restyled rocker panel molding" and the attached Buick PR photo seems to show a full length stainless rocker molding. However, when viewing actual photos of the cars the rocker panels seem to be blacked out (shadowed)? I know the `66 model had ribbed, dark moldings on the rocker panel. What is correct for the `67 models? Thanks in advance for any and all replies, Tom Mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In looking at owner's photos of other 67's, the stainless moldings are on the cars. Sometimes GM's press photos contain items that never made it into production but the pics of 67's that I have taken at various shows illustrate the stainless moldings. Hope you are well!Pat Curran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 67 rocker moldings are a one year item. Full polished stainless. Back to the black ribbed in 68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68RIVGS Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Did all the '67s have the polished stainless, or was it an 'option' like the '68-'69 W5 Custom Bright Exterior Mouldings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing optional in 67. Was the 68-69 option you speak of bright moldings "above" the rocker, hence the black ribbed rocker molding stayed same when that option was selected?
