Ever see OEM moldings wrapped like this before?

They're in two bags each. Agree, at least the outer bag is unoriginal, IMO. 1972 may have been the cutoff between GM made and contracted out. At least according to the seller. Edit: Check that, I couldn't wait, so opened the one with the tag. Someone cut the tag off a paper wrapper and taped in on - fraud. Kidding, right pieces, wrong tag and packaging.

One shows signs of some rust on back, it's age is apparent. No tag, just a name, perhaps a dealer.

Kicker is he sold me two of the same side, it's supposed to be a pair. Works out perfect, that's three matching pair It's the second time that's occurred. The first was two LH, I discovered too late the guy put a LH piece in a RH bag

I've never seen these in a blue and white bag. Only clear/blue plastic or the paper/clear/glue disaster that's common.

Peals off easy. Does what it's supposed to, pretty nice plan back in the day. Only similar item I've seen was a headlight bezel, though I believe that was clay.
