Hey, guys. Im looking for the clips to the body moldings on my 66 cutlass. Most of the trim is on there snug, but there are a few that the plastic clips finally gave way. I've looked on OPGI and didn't see anything there. Would you guys have any idea where I can buy the clips?

You can check Fusick or Restoration Specialties

Those aren't the original clips anyway. There are a number of similar clips, all originally made by Au-Ve-Co. The clip vendors like Restoration Specialties, Clips and Fasterners, and RJ&L sell a variety of them.

I used these on the blue 66 pictured here. The original old dirty clip laying on the box must be one of my originals and I had put it in the box with the new ones.
I searched and it seems AUVECO discontinued this clip, and the search further says the clips in this LINK are their replacements.

AUVECO # 19807 - Universal Moulding Fastener 10-24 X 3/4'' (dixied.com)

I am not recommending this company, they are just a company that came up in my Google search.

@66luvr This is Very helpful! I found a clip-on restoration specialist. This looks similar to the original.

@66luvr do remember how to take them off? Do you need to take the door panels off or a sort of special tool?

I have no personal knowledge on removing the clips. I had the car painted at a friends body shop and they removed the trim. I did install the trim after the paint and buffing were finished.
Good luck,

The door panels need to be removed to get at the nuts to remove the trim.

Thank you everyone for all your help. I was able to find the clips for the car at space-age auto paint. While I was there I grabbed some painting materials and painted the car in a "vintage flatz" white. It came out pretty good for my first time ever shooting a car.
