I was thinking it was some sort of production thing. Lack of whatever that is needed to plate them due to a worldwide shortage or something. Anyway, it’s probably cheaper and less time consuming to just buy new. Even the grille crest is in the same condition, looking like it might never have been plated. But thanks for the info, Den and the posting of the photos, Ian. Oh- it has the spark advance on the steering column, not the dashboard- if that matters. If it has no turn signals at all, should it not have semaphores?
