Hi Tav. Hope you are doing well. I have seen three or four sets that appear to have been silver. (Same place where I located the hoods/original cars for research.) Are they worn off? I didn't think they were. I have seen inner fender side marker retainers also in silver. Most of those are gold however. Just when you think you have every answer, a sample pops up to defy all logic. I have stopped making absolutes regarding any feature about these cars. Since I have about 35 hours of work a day over the next 3 weeks, I think I will leave it to some of the others making the “absolutes” to prove their case on this one. Certainly it is only fair that I should not be the only person having to prove my points (constantly) as well as having to disprove every statement or “feature” made by others. Someone posts a gold picture; I post a silver. Who is right? Who is wrong? Neither I would think.
