Convertibles finished different? Reason? Reflection from Sun with Top down?? Almost got in fist fight with knowledgeable Mopar fan who was adamant that My Car should have chrome trim and I told Him mine didn't,and I restored things the way I found them originally on the Car...

This was a fragile plating that often disappeared over time. Many owners replaced it with similar looking silver paint.
