(Korean War/Conflict - chrome/chromium "went to war"?) Outer grill bars on painted grilles were body color with white or ivory inner bars. I'm pretty sure 1952-1953's had painted bumpers and hubcaps, but not necessarily grilles. I can't confirm any '51's had chrome plated grilles, but my '51 definitely had a painted grille (Omaha Orange outer bars/Waldorf White inner bars). | | |
