I'm working on my '65 Cornet 500 and I'm wondering about the arm rest bases. Were they chrome from the factory. Mine appear to be chrome on the inside but on the outside they have gray paint over the chrome. Not sure if someone painted them a long time ago or if the factory did that?
I have a set of bases from a Coronet 440 that appear to have a little chrome left on them but most of it is worn away. Here is a picture of the two side by side.
I also see that the Coronet 440 interior red is different than the Coronet 500 red. The 440 red is darker than the 500 red. I guess I wasn't aware of that before.

Check out the Hamtramck Historical site. Go to Library, then Color & Trim Selector, then 1965, then Dodge icon, obviously choose Coronet. P4R and H1R (500 & 440 interior codes, respectively) refer to trim level, not color, which is the R. P = Premium, H = High. The 4 and 1 most likely refer to buckets vs bench. Similar to how interiors were coded on the later cars.

The 440 would use a dark maroon pad because that has two tone door panel and it would match the center section which is maroon. The 500 is a solid red panel through the middle thus using the red arm pad.
