A Custom OR Custom Deluxe with ANY molding should have the molding called out on the SPID - Lower, upper, or both (i.e. like Chipflyers)

Thanks for all the pics that folks posted!

So, I notice that LMC sells "BLACK" lower moldings in addition to woodgrain. Because I Had always misread my 72 sales brochure and thought the black paint on belt trim was referring to the LOWER molding - when in fact it's referring to the Upper ("belt") molding, now I'm curious about this:
Could one get/order/was there such a thing as BLACK (vice woodgrain) LOWER body moldings in 72? (or 71 for that matter). I'm starting to think only woodgrain was available from factory and that the black ones i've seen were aftermarket option only?!?!?!?

Thanks for the great info. Cool thread. Who asked such a great question in the first place???

Only Customs came with no side trim. If lower trim was ordered it was black accent. Custom Deluxes came with lower trim/black accent,Cheyenne came with lower trim/woodgrain,and Cheyenne Super came with lower/woodgrain & upper...all standard. There does seem to be an exception to the rule with some Custom Deluxes getting woodgrain and I believe those may have all been Highlanders. I had an all original paint & trim '72 Highlander with woodgrain.
