There's 2 versions commonly used.  Original restoration, which has mitered and closed ends and can come in SS or aluminum.  This is what we use (Beck) and IM as well.  I see a lot of shops use late model VW Beetle trim also.  Thin aluminum and the ends are folded around to close them up.  If you post photos of your trim, specifically where it cross the door gap at the A and B sides of the door, we can identify it.

chines1 & WOLFGANG:  Thanks for the speedy reply

The front right fender trim on my car is about 3/8" wide by 32 7/8" long.  I'm presuming the front left fender trim is the same size.  The trim is aluminum, extruded/hollow.  The ends are mitred as chines1 mentioned.

The mounting clips are plastic, about 11/16" long by 3/16" wide with the push pin tightening like the ones pictured WOLFGANG's post.

I would appreciate if you all could point me in the right direction to get the trim.  I'm retired so I can chase this down.  Your providing a source is plenty.

You side trim clips are stock VW beetle, however those will work with either style side trim.  Unfortunately I cannot see your top photo clear enough to identify.  It looks like VW trim form what I can tell, but again I am not 100% sure...  If there is a way to post a higher resolution pics that would help.
For VW trim, JBugs or CIP1 is as good a source as any
