?? GMC Suburban Carrier Chrome Trim ??
I spotted this 55-57 GMC today.
But I've never seen chrome trim like this on one of these . Its placed mid body and across the tail gate. It has a '100' emblem on the forward half of the side trim. I wonder if this is a export truck (from the USA) perhaps Canadian ? Anyone have a clue ?

Re: ?? GMC Suburban Carrier Chrome Trim ??
I went back and took another look and it appears to be a 55 , 56 or 57 Chevy according to the script on the tailgate trim. The side trim has a checked flag where I thought it was a 100.
The trim and the fiberglass is factory original. Any ideas, thoughts as to what special model this is ????

Mystery Solved !
The trim is from a '59 Impala 2 door.
