Have a pair of stainless roof mouldings that came with a 57 Plymouth 2dr hardtop. These are not the typical roof moulings, they go over the drip rails. Are these factory or aftermarket or do they go to a different car/

I tried to attach a photo, but it said it was too big.

These roof mouldings were factory on higher end models. A photo may not help to identify which model they go to. They are prone to being twisted when taken off a car improperly, so be careful when handling.

He's right, they were indeed used on Plymouth (see picture).
But I don't know on what model or when they did use the separate drip rail / roof rail or this combo moulding ...

Thinking about it, maybe they were aftermarket, after all ...
I have only seen those moldings once, in this picture I posted.

These are used on the 59 plymouths for sure. Don't know if they are used on other cars

This looks like the wide roof rail moulding used on 59 Dodge CRL, and possibly 58 as well.
