The originals were riveted in place, under a short piece above the trim and a longer skin below that extended down as a single plane curve. I think these were installed in sections about 6' long. The early Clippers had narrow trim through about 1951. Some of the later Visicoach and Starliner models had much wider trim. And some of the last ones had no trim. So, since what you want do isn't stock, you could stylize it any way you choose. I am partial to the narrow, early style. There are other nice trim pieces in these buses. The trim pieces at the bottom of the seats and along the arm rests are beautiful flowing pieces done in the same style but curved.
I'll take a look at mine on my way home this evening to see what it would take to do this.
