Moldings and grill

[Chachos 49]

Are the side trim moldings and front grill aluminum? Should they be polished or chromed out? 1949 Plymouth special deluxe

Should be either polished stainless steel and/or chromed stamped steel........I'd be surprised if there is much, if any aluminium, apart from diecast which is a zinc alloy..........andyd

I just don’t  know if I polish them myself or send them out to be chromes with the bumpers?

stainless.....not chrome.....you can polish these yourself....you can send them to be polished...would be a total waste to chrome these....process and price would be off the chart....I would suggest a bit of DIY here.

All of the straight line pieces are stainless and can be polished out as well as the piece on the front of the rear fender and gas cap guard. bumper, hood ornament, emblems and lighting bezels are chromed.

 

Grill I actually can't recall but I think it's chromed as well.

Thank you for that info. Save me some money at the chrome shop

Oh and, rear window trim, stainless.

I’m cleaning out my shop. Found all of this. Will sort it out, the post Individual items for sale.
