For pre '73 Euro cars or 66--67 (and maybe very early 1968 1600) US spec cars.  Federal requirements that took effect 1 Jan 1968 forbade shiny chrome visible to the driver...

But we have seen these shiny bits in cars like my old Agave 71 and @zinz car.

And Jim’s (@jimk) delivered-at-the-factory 1971 (?), which is the most confounding example because the chance of a unknown swap are/were nil!

 

These shiny versions are really not supposed to be legal, as Mike said. Could any of these shiny examples on 1968 and later U.S. cars have accompanied a post-factory dashboard change?

 

Are all the examples of shiny (chromed?) heater bezels 1971 models? Just curious... Rogue bezel installer? Fire in the bezel factory? ?


Best regards,
