I wonder why they went to painting later on.
Weren't they also plated before painting?
Or was it for cosmetic reasons?


Likely cheaper to paint than plate. I doubt they would have done both and i would also doubt they were concerned about cosmetics. They were just cars and it was under the hood. it was also a time that the overall quality was slipping while they were laughing at the Japanese. OOOPPPSSS!!
