Concerning the radiator surround shroud.., I know the front is chromed but what about the square under the radiator cap. Is this painted the body color or is it suppose to be chrome also? My current one is painted the same as the car color. I found a good one to have re-chromed and was just checking concerning the top square which is under the Cap. Going to the platter next week.
Does this make sense to anyone or do I need to post a picture ?
Chet...
Chet, Mine is chrome.
OK - But what about the front hinge loop for the engine hood. Is that also Chrome ?
So I guess, all exposed surfaces ?

That front loop (????) in your photo is chrome as well. At least it is on mine.
Thanks Ted,
On my car now; the metal under the cap as well as the hood hinge loop is painted the same as the body color. Pictures of the these old car's don't show that detail ?? I have this also posted on the POC forum but have yet to confirm what was originally done. I think I will post on the AACA form as well.
Here's a couple pics:

Thanks Ted, I believe yours is correct just trying to confirm that. :)
Let me know if you hear anything different. I believe my chrome to be original as when my Dad found the car in '62, except the bumpers which I had re-done in 2013.

According to POC & AACA you're correct. All visible surfaces are chromed. :)
Confirmed on my old original as well. Rear hood hinge (by windshield) is body color.
