The original plating on my '37 120 appears to be some kind of nickle on many items. The bumpers appear to be chrome. The nickle, or nickle-like finish is definitely not the mid-1950s type chrome plating. It looks different and it ages differently.

Door handles, hubcaps, the hood center molding, and the grill slats look like a kind of nickle plate. These pieces seem to acquire a greenish tarnish and the plating appears to be thin.The bumpers appear to be "modern" chrome and the finish is brighter, thicker, and more durable.
