I have wondered for a long time if nicely preserved black paint hid a majestic brass radiator top on my 56 Cameo. After I saw Czechman's picture I decided it was time to look, so I did some scraping. It's brass! does anyone know what years were brass capped? Mine is a 56 and I just assumed it was steel -- till now. I'm ordering the nyalox brushes--- now. This will be a great winter project (along with the others). Thanks Woody --- Dale
