I think the black tubes stem from engines where the top layer of paint is gone revealing the black primer. The restorer repaints it black thinking that is the correct color. I remember a conversation similar to this for the '51-'54 cars. My car had a black tube, but others convinced me that this was not correct. Consensus was the tubes should be engine color.
