Re: [Chrysler300] what was and what wasn't flash-chromed?

Hi Mike and all,
Sounds like sometime between '56 and '62 flash chroming stopped being 
used.  I know my '56 stainless had flash chroming as the person who did 
my stainless demonstrated to me the flash chrome on the trim and some 
'56 B wheelcovers.  I vaguely remember him using a solvent that removed 
the flash chrome so it he could buff the stainless more quickly and 
easily.  Maybe acetone??
(Help me out here Al Vannice!!)
I'll try to give my polisher a call and ask him if that is so.

   Hi Group,
I've been following this string all day.  I thought I'd throw in my 2 
cents.
When I assembled my 300H three years ago, I polished all my stainless 
trim
and wheel covers with my 3/4 HP polishing wheel.  I used grey compound 
and white

rouge.  There was no plating on any of my parts.  All the parts 
polished up
nicely. And the wheels turned as black as the paint on the car.  This 
tells me
the trim is stainless without plating. Just thought you'd like to 
know...
