The Trunk to Taillight Molding Trim for the 1963 Ford Galaxie is an OE-style exterior restoration component designed to restore the factory-correct transition between the trunk lid and the taillight assemblies. These two small but highly visible trim pieces mount in the space between the outer edges of the trunk lid and the taillight housings, completing the rear-end appearance with the crisp detailing Ford intended. Offered by Auto Metal Direct and produced by CHQ, this set is ideal for classic muscle car restoration parts projects focused on authenticity and finish quality.
On original Galaxies, these moldings provide a clean visual break and help define the rear body lines. Over time, originals are often lost, damaged, pitted, or dulled from age and exposure. Missing or incorrect trim in this area can make an otherwise well-restored rear panel look incomplete. Replacing them restores the proper visual balance and enhances the overall presentation of the trunk and taillight area.
Manufactured to OE-style dimensions, these moldings are polished and anodized to replicate the original factory appearance. The profile, length, and finish are designed to match original 1963 Galaxie trim, ensuring the pieces sit correctly between the taillight and trunk lid without altering surrounding body lines. The anodized finish provides a bright, consistent look that complements original-style rear trim and bezels.
This pair includes both left-hand and right-hand moldings, allowing for a complete and symmetrical restoration of the rear trim area. They are correct for 1963 Ford Galaxie applications where these filler moldings were originally used. Whether completing a concours-level restoration or refreshing a driver-quality classic, these trim pieces play an important role in achieving an OE-style rear-end finish.
Produced by CHQ and offered by Auto Metal Direct, these moldings are third-party OE-style replacement components selected to meet AMD’s standards for fit, appearance, and application accuracy. They integrate seamlessly with original-style trunk lids and taillight assemblies, making them a dependable choice for accurate Galaxie restorations.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
