Title: Console detail question
Post by: Azdriver on April 28, 2023, 09:16:08 PM

OK, so the center ribbed part of the floor console, I am thinking it is painted Argent but were the ribs exposed chrome originally or is that something that wore off over time?

Thanks, Pat

It wasn't painted, it's part of the chrome process.

Not sure that you can make out the detail in this photo of an NOS shifter plate, but the recessed areas between the ribs has a grained texture that gives it more of a ?soft? silver appearance.
