I recall that Packard applied a clear lacquer to the grilles and front bumpers of the Korean War era cars in order to preserve the thin chrome plating

That's a bit inconsistent with the information in Packard's notification about "defense chrome", the bumpers were done in the traditional copper/nickel/chrome but the grille was defense chrome.
