"I have a 22nd series with original interior, Eight (not Deluxe) and the dash trim is chromed."

Dependent upon when it was built, the chrome dash trim may have been a running change to help sell cars and reduce inventory before the 23rd Series changeover.

If the NYC general taxi specifications that applied to Checker, Desoto Skyview and Packard can be located, very likely even things such as painted instrument panel trim were specified to reduce the glare driver's would experience.
