That style headlight door casting may a one-year-only part, '55 Fairlane.
Not reproduced, used originals only. Or NOS if you're incredibly lucky.

The top inside of the casting is open to allow the chrome 'eyebrow' to fit in. The trim is held in place with 3 screws on the back side.

The red ones below were repainted and are on the car in my avatar photo. The black one is only copied photos from an old ebay ad.
.
All the suppliers have the chrome trim for around 200.00, including the Early Ford Store. I decided to see if there was any good used ones on ebay They have/had them new for 140.00! (plus the ride) I thought it must be a misprint, but it wasn't. So, I ordered a pr. Got them this past week. They are Bob Drake repops, & look to be excellent quality.
Moral of the story: do a search on ebay. They might still have some for 140.00.Good luck!- F F
