Chrome would look great against a dark colour car, or with the black sticker behind them. However, how do we keep the chrome clean? Spare polish would look a mess and I cant think how to get the last of the polish away from the black sticker after cleaning the chrome?
Any suggestions from the concourse guys?
I have a set in my WN "shopping cart", along with a few other items. We'll see if I pull the trigger before the current pricing expires.Pretty darn reasonable I must say! Even w/the enormous shipping charges W&N outlines.
Wow. I've had theories that I've invented, and that in some ways align with what you just noted. But your description sounds much more official and accurate to me. And for me, it also exemplifies one of the benefits the parts books provide.Any other theories out there?
I am not a concours guy, but fairly sure these are chrome-painted plastic grills and easy to clean with water and soap. Be careful that the tips don't break.
Regardless of car color, you'll need the black stickers behind the side grills.
HB Chris will correct me, but I believe that the chrome ones were used until the end of '72 and from thereon they were black.
My '73 and '74 (both nachtblau) came with the silver (not chrome) grills. Believe it was still varied by vehicle color in these years, and not all black.
My '73 started out Tundra and now is Nachtblau. The grills are matte black,but a CSA should have been chrome per Chris' info. Are the W&N chrome grills plastic or metal?My '73 and '74 (both nachtblau) came with the silver (not chrome) grills. Believe it was still varied by vehicle color in these years, and not all black.
if they are two tone (matt+shiny) hood grilles, and matt chrome side grilles, then I could be interested, depending on condition. I'm going for the original look, but I don't mind a scratch here or there.Related - if I pull the trigger on these new WN grilles, I may have a set of original grilles that are rough around the edges up for sale...
