Hi Tim, yes I was referring to the 52 I am restoring. The war years from what I have read are considered 51 52 53. The US joined in the fight on June 23 1950 and the war ended on July 27 1953. One of the metals in short supply during the Korean War was chrome. That is the reason much of the bright work from previous years went to stainless or was painted during those years. The hubcaps were painted grey and the lettering was red. I am sorry I can't help you out on body colored rims prior to 1954. My memory isn't real clear as to the end of the war as I was just 8 months old at the time LOL.
