hello eric
i believe you are referring to a type of flexible cove molding. i found some
at an rv grave yard and had to purchase around a 100 ft of it ( minimum coil
amount) and paid dearly for it. i needed it for my 66 safari which the
original was what i also would call putty in color. the stuff i have is
white but works just like the original. i tried to dye it using standard
cloth dye and it did not work, however, after my installation i later found
out that there are vinyl dyes out there that would most likely work. if you
have an interest, contact me off line and i could send you a sample and talk
turkey.
thanks
harry
