Upper Fender Chrome Trim Differences

[88hurstolds]

The upper fender chrome trim differs throughout the years namely because GM used different vendors over time on most parts.
This is also true for the lower steering column trim and the A pillar hard top drip rail pieces on '85's but that is a topic of discussion for another time.
Pictured from Left to right are drivers LH side examples the three styles from an '84 Calais, '85 and '87 Salons:

'81-'84:LH 2250794 and RH 2250795
'85-early '86?: LH 22512186 and RH 22512187
late '86 or '87-'88: LH 22521874 and RH 22521875

I am not sure about '86 models, if anyone can confirm the styles for any of these years that would be great.

great info... would you happen to have any info on a 1978 cutlass. I would live to find a set in really good shape

I don't have any pieces but I do have a parts manual for 76-81 A body's for a part number.
